Re: GRUB Vs LILO

[Christoph Plattner]

GRUB fully supports kernel line paramters.

The line then is

        kernel /xxxx/vmlinuz x86_serial_nr=1 <and perhaps other>

You can load the kernel manually by typing this, or simple add the
parameters in the "kernel" line in `menu.lst'.

In lilo `appand="xxx"' is used to pass further command lines.

Advantage of GRUB: If you change or edit the `menu.lst' file, not
reinstallation is needed. If you change something in `lilo.conf'
or if the kernel changes, `lilo' must be run to reinstall itself.

With friendly regards
        Christoph P.
