I don't know the answer to your problem (never had a chance to come close an SMP machine, lucky you !) But for the lilo option it's no_reset ex: aic7xxx=no_reset (change aic7xxx to the name of your SCSI driver) you can put it in lilo.conf like that append="aic7xxx=no_reset" or otherwise on the lilo prompt you can type: linux aic7xxx=no_reset if linux is the name of your kernel Good luck Patrick Ps: to find things like that see the kernel sources. for example aic7xxx=no_reset (along with all other options) is clearly mentioned at the beginning of /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx.c
