Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] bootloader --append="noapic" does nothing?

I noticed when testing my Live CD on a Dell at the Creative Commons

if the above issue were fixable for this release.)
So, at the advice of

this toward the start of my Kickstart file:
bootloader --append="noapic"
Alas, the resulting disc still does not pass "noapic" to the kernel. What
am I supposed to do?
Which version of livecd-tools are you using for building your image?
But note if you're doing this for a general-purpose image, you almost
certainly don't want to add 'noapic' to the default. While it may help
the specific machine you've tested on, it will cause problems on _more_
machines.
