#69 error cat: can't open '/proc/cmdline': No such file or directory

[Doug Good]

Using DBAN 2.3.0 I'm getting the error cat: can't open '/proc/cmdline': No such file or directory after selecting an option from the DBAN menu. This is on a newer Dell Latitude laptop (model 5270) with a 500 GB SATA hard drive. The solution I found online was to revert back to version 2.2.8 and modify the isolinux.cfg file to add acpi=off nousb to the kernel parameter lines. This worked on version 2.2.8 and 2.2.7 but NOT on 2.3.0. A google search shows that this issue is occurring for a lot of people with newer computers and DBAN 2.3.0.

Thank you for your post. I need to make the modification to Version 2.2.8. However, I,m not sure how to do it. Can you help me?
Thanks

For those still having this problem, this is what worked for me;
Use version 2.2.8, extract to device as normal
Modify ./isolinux.cfg (with notepad or other notepad like software)
Change every line with: "KERNEL dban.bzi"
to
"KERNEL dban.bzi acpi=off nousb"
Save file
Use DBAN as you normally would
