append can contain any arbitrary string, which will be parsed by the kernel. I e.g. use:
append="root=/dev/sda2 snd_ac97_codec.power_save=1 usbcore.autosuspend=1 hpet=force quiet drm_kms_helper.poll=0"
And grub also supports an append string with spaces, that is probably used by every distribution.
The question is, what will the kernel parser do about that space?
It seems lilo also have no support for such parameters.
append="video=9-pin DIN:1024x768-24@60e"
does not work (kernel panic: DIN: bad variable name)
As I understand, I should pass somehow to kernel string like:
video="9-pin DIN:1024x768-24@60e", but lilo uses doublequotes as r-value bounds.
in_quote variable in next_arg() is set only for " character.
