Well, I was actually asking about running kernel parameters, such as those listed in sysctl. But I'm also interested in learning more about boot parameters.Hmmm, very interesting. When I change the grub timeout, is that a "configuration/bash parameter"? I've never altered the linux kernel before.
That's a good link. But what I'm actually looking for is settings people may use in the real world.

Yes, think of this a sort of social thread, not me asking how to do stuff. Things like "Hey, yeah, I fixed this problem using that setting the other morning! Saved my hide!" I'm curious how often people find uses for the parameters, and in what ways.We do. Those are all probably used by someone. Heck, up above I gave you an instance of me using one of them in the real world -- 'noapic' to be specific. They're added during the boot process,
You'll find the web littered with people suggesting 'em for fixes for problems. Just because *you* don't use them doesn't mean nobody does.
Gotta backlit keyboard that won't work, there's a parameter for that. Getting IRQ errors in your logs? There's like a dozen of 'em you can try. Every time we tell someone to modify their grub and add a boot parameter, odds are that it's on the list somewhere.
