here is part of my lilo.conf
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux"
root=/dev/hda7
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="quiet devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi acpi=off"
vga=788
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux-nonfb"
root=/dev/hda7
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi acpi=off"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-smp
label="linux-smp"
root=/dev/hda7
initrd=/boot/initrd-smp.img
append="devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi acpi=off"
read-only

the append lines have options "stack" by including and separating by a
single blank space, so if I wanted to include NOAPIC to the smp "stanza"
it would look like this before I rerun /sbin/lilo, which I would do
before I rebooted, but after editing
> image=/boot/vmlinuz-smp
label="linux-smp"
root=/dev/hda7
initrd=/boot/initrd-smp.img
append="devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi acpi=off NOAPIC"
read-only
so the only change would have been from this;
append="devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi acpi=off"
to this;
append="devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi acpi=off NOAPIC"
________________________________________________________________________
this would not have effected any other choices in my lilo menu, just
when I start selecting the entry corresponding to the label.
so for my self, I might even cut and past so I had a lilo that gave me
the option "smp-noapic" (bad Idea, don't really try it, SMP, is multi
procesor and needs apic) by adding a 'stanza' for smp-noapic so that
lilo.conf looked like this
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux"
root=/dev/hda7
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="quiet devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi acpi=off"
vga=788
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux-nonfb"
root=/dev/hda7
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi acpi=off"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-smp
label="linux-smp"
root=/dev/hda7
initrd=/boot/initrd-smp.img
append="devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi acpi=off"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-smp
label="linux-smp-noapic"
root=/dev/hda7
initrd=/boot/initrd-smp.img
append="devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi acpi=off NOAPIC"
read-only
hope that helps
