Hello, 
	Im a Gentoo kernel maintainer thats trying to fix some bugs on are upcoming 
1.4 livecd release that uses IsoLinux.

Our isolinux.cfg is pretty standard :

#########################################
default gentoo
append initrd=initrd acpi=off root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc

timeout 300
prompt 1
display boot.msg
F1 boot.msg
F2 help.msg

label livecd
        kernel gentoo
        append initrd=initrd acpi=off root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc
#########################################

The problem is when a user passes another parameter :

gentoo nosmp apci=on ,etc  they are ignored. even though a dmesg shows them as 
a kernel command line arguement.

Ive tried various versions of isolinux with no luck. Any info would be 
appreciated. 


			Thanks
