Success !
I edited the APPEND= line in /etc/lilo.conf but only APPEND= acpi=off worked.
i.e. two parameters seems not to be accepted. (The documentation is lousy) I tried various permutation but running the command lilo reported syntax errors on this line.
You need quotes if the argument has any spaces. This from my lilo.conf file: image = /boot/vmlinuz label = linux root = /dev/hda3 # IDE disc 1 partition 3 append = "noapic devfs=mount" In Grub's menu.lst you don't need the quotes but you need to specify all the parameters; lilo gives you root= and vga= for free, and folds in the image name. Here's my example: title Linux 2.4.19 (Custom) root (hd0,2) kernel = /boot/vmlinuz noapic devfs=mount vga=0x343 root=/dev/hda3 (For the sharp-eyed: kernel 2.4.19 knows that the APIC on an Inspiron 4100 is poison, and refuses to turn it on.)
