A priori, no. You have to see how it works after the installation.

what kernel parameters would i need to set?
Again, a priori, none.

For both questions, observe how it works after the installation.
A nice way to check it is checking 'dmesg' output.
If the boot process hangs at some point, check the last message displayed.
