Ah. I had wondered if that was possible.

I certainly can, but...

I meant that I don't think I successfully disabled DV, because the boot
messages were *identical*, except for the line where the kernel shows
the "Kernel command line".

I had added this argument at the end of the line:  aic7xxx=dv:{0}

I've re-read "aic7xxx.txt" and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. If
you can tell me how to disable DV, I'd be happy to give it a try.
