No other combination of typed in cmdline parameters I've tried gets to a KDE or
LXDE session (including "" and failsafe). (Gnome as a matter of principle I
don't touch)
Booting with 2 on cmdline works as expected.
Using the exact same cmdline appendages as shown above for 8.1 in attempting
with 8.2:
INIT: Id "x1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes.
Some other combinations got as far as painting the big Knoppix/Tux graphic, but
no more. Dmesg provides no recognizable clues. Journalctl finds no entries.
Same two DVDs work in various newer and older Intel gfx PCs here.
