[Erp5-users] LiveCD: How-to make network configuration persistent / config.xml

[Shrenik Bhura]

Hi,

In my case also, the settings were being picked up from the config.xml
but yet the network connection was not proper. And I was periodically
receiving an IRQ 11 related error message.

To counter the same, I booted the machine with 

#livecd noapic nolapic 

This resolved my problem.

Some more info may be found at http://wiki.erp5.org/FaqOnLiveCd
