Kernel

Various kernel options

Systemd

net.ifnames=0

turns off predictable name logic for network cards. Revert to the old eth0, eth1 etc.

Acpi/Apic options

no8259A - nolapic - noIapic - noapictimer - acpi=noirq irqpoll - no_timer_check - pci=biosirq - pic=irqroute - clock=pmtmr - notsc - acpi_use_timer_override

Plus:

acpi_os_name= 

that needs a parameter, among “Microsoft Windows XP”, “Microsoft Windows”, “Microsoft Windows NT” or “Windows 2001”. It’s mostly useful to trick the BIOS into believing that it’s dealing with Windows instead of Linux, which can help solve some Acpi issues.
