There is an option: "hdx=none" : drive is NOT present, ignore cmos and do not probe Did that work for you when you tried it? It looks like that option will explicitly ignore the CMOS. Apologies if I'm misinterpreting the docs/misunderstanding how the kernel works, I'm inexperienced and worse the wear for beer. Thanks, adam
