Kernel options

Hi all, to start linux (SuSE 9.1) on my notebook I must pass "apm=off" on boot. Since that notebook has to be used by my daughter (and she doesn't have any idea about what linux is, of course) I tried to add that option into grub configuration. No success (and I don't know why). Here is my grub configuration: title SuSE linux kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 vga=0x305 spalsh=silent i810fb desktop resume=/dev/hda5 showopts initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd I tried to insert apm=off after showopts - it doesn't work - so in any other place from root=/dev/hda6 to showopts - same result. I have to type apm=off on boot every time. Should I use lilo? ;-\ Bye emilio
