    | | Ok, now can you try booting with either of those args :
    | |
    | | noreplace-paravirt
    | | noreplace-smp
    | |
    | | And see which one(s) works ?
    |
    | noreplace-paravirt works, the other one causes no change.

    I have asked Mandriva and Ubuntu users to test this and all of
    them so far are saying that noreplace-paravirt works.

    It makes the system slower, but it works.
