Some crap before linux boot please!

So here we were, trying to install Fedora Core 4 so we can get some decent development going in our new office, and we get a kernel panic immediately.

Google is mostly a dont-wanna-use-brain-so-will-just-look-it-up device. Denial is pointless. So we look up this site first and there is all this talk about SATA and initrd and all other logical BS.

Then I find this solution in fedoraforum - just type a nonsensical word first and then boot as usual. Like type 'this is crazy' first - and then linux mediacheck - and no kernel panic, no nonsense. The idea probably being - all garbage out first, then it's all smooth cruising. And you thought such things happened only in Windoze and Harry Potter.
