[Scully Wu]

Hi Mike,

Thanks. I am using SUSE10.2.

So can I add "usbcore.blinkenlights=1" to the end of the line
"kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.1 root=/dev/hda1 vga=0x303    resume=/dev/hda6
splash=silent showopts" in my /boot/grub/menu.lst?

Do I need reboot?

Can I pass the parameter now and forevermore by this way? Thanks.
