Configured "Global Append Options" in the bootloader configuration are not used, altough the box was rebooted.
The problem is another append entry in /etc/lilo.conf:
cat /etc/lilo.conf boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
#linear
timeout=30
#restricted
#password=
#serial=
default=2.4.33-3.6.0.12
append="pci=noacpi"
############ header end #############
image=/boot/bzImage-2.4.33-3.6.0.12
label=2.4.33-3.6.0.12
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.33-3.6.0.12.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda3
append="hdc=ide-scsi"´
This issue can be caused if the machine has a CCISS-controller or a SCSI-CDRom attached.
Change the second append entry to "addappend", to correct this issue:
vi /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
#linear
timeout=30
#restricted
#password=
#serial=
default=2.4.33-3.6.0.12
append="pci=noacpi"
############ header end #############
image=/boot/bzImage-2.4.33-3.6.0.12
label=2.4.33-3.6.0.12
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.33-3.6.0.12.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda3
addappend="hdc=ide-scsi"
After changing this parameter your boot-record has to be re-written. Do this by entering the following command:
lilo
Added 2.4.xx-x.x.x.x *
After a reboot the box will use the correct apped-optins. Reboot the box by entering the following command:
reboot
