That's not a bad idea, but it's not necessary either. From /boot/grub/menu.lst:
## ## Start Default Options ## ## default kernel options ## default kernel options for automagic boot options ## If you want special options for specifiv kernels use kopt_x_y_z ## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted. ## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro # kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro So you would possibly use this: # kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro acpi=force
