[Bug 936450] [NEW] badram fixed install from usb-flash gives problem.

[johnnyfg]

Public bug reported:

I wanted to try to install ubuntu on a eeepc 901 with badram. I edited
the file on /cdrom that provided the boot parameters to linux during
startup. the list of badram parameters was way to long to manually enter
during bootup.

file:///cdrom/syslinux/txt.cfg:

default live
label live
  menu label ^Run Ubuntu from this USB
  kernel /casper/vmlinuz
  append noprompt cdrom-detect/try-usb=true file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper persistent initrd=/casper/initrd.lz splash badram=0x4941d18c,0xfffff1bc,0x4941d2e4,0xfffdd3f4,0x4941d804,0xfffff8cc,0x4941d80c,0xfffff97c,0x4941d82c,0xfffffa2c,0x4941d8a4,0xfffff8a4,0x4941d944,0xfffffbc4,0x4941da0c,0xfffffa8c,0x4941dc24,0xfffffe34,0x4941dc54,0xfffffc54 --
