lilo wont accept "noathlon" kerne parameter...

[CrazyHelloDeli]

Using redhat 7.2 and just reinstalled. I have to tell RH to boot with the "noathlon" switch otherwise I get a Kernel Panic error. The problem is that once I add append="noathlon" to lilo.conf it wont recognize it, and I still end up having to hit ctrl-x and send noathlon manually. I add the changes with vi, type "lilo -v" to make it stick or whatever and it pops back saying "duplicate line 16". There is no duplicate line though. Anyone know what the deal is?

This worked when I used GRUB but wont with LILO. Here are the instructions I used. I already have an append="hdc=ide-scsi" for my CD-RW, so I tried adding "noathlon" to the same line but that didnt work either, unless of course I have the syntax wrong. Help me out here...

you cant have two append lines AFAIK. try seperating them with commas, i.e. append="crap, poop, fart" (not sure on this one)....really the man page should tell you what to use to seperate them.

Man page of what? Man LILO doesnt tell me anything other than switches for the LILO command.

man lilo.conf, forgot to mention that 😱

edit: was just looking at the man page myself, looks like you just use a space to seperate them. i.e.:

append="crapoption=1 vga=1 poop=true"

Ok it works, cept now im getting a weird error about my cd-rw on boot but it goes by too fast, and I cant find it in the logs. Its still seems to work though...Anyways thx!

The line should be append="mem=nopentium"
