Buf!, so I'm very confused!
Clear me. I understand that after I installed debian with the debian 
installer for passing new parameters to the kernel I have to:

1) do what with [1]. And how?
2) Run apexctl?
3) Reboot?

You have to understand that I'm a desktop user. I have a ubuntu 
installed in my system and I done the standard procedures in old debian 
desktop (compile new kernel, change grub configuration, ....) but never 
I have done nothing with arm arch, apex, redboot, .... it sound more 
strange for me
