cheatcodes being ignored by GRUB
I am attempting to run knoppix on a toshiba tablet pc. i have windows xp installed and I'm using GRUB to run Knoppix from the hard drive since it won't boot from the PCMCIA-CD drive. I got it to work by putting the bootfloppy files onto the partition where knoppix lives.
When Knoppix boots, it gets a little way through - recognizes the processor - then says:
PCMCIA found, starting cardmgr
cardmgr[391]: starting, version is 3.2.2
blah, blah
modprobe: Can't locate module memory_cs
blah, blah
Then it hangs.
So I attempted to use the nopcmcia cheatcode, but it doesn't seem to stop the "PCMCIA found, starting cardmgr" stuff. It hangs every time.
Here is my GRUB entry - am I doing something wrong? Why does cardmgr still attempt to run?
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz nopcmcia
initrd /miniroot.gz
Note - I've also tried using the failsafe and expert cheatcodes, but they don't seem to do anything different either. Am I not formatting the cheatcodes correctly for grub?

I think I figured this out.
Seems that whatever version of GRUB I am using is ignoring the first argument / parameter / cheatcode, no matter what it is.
So the following works just fine:
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz foobar nopcmcia
initrd /miniroot.gz
weird, eh?
