The last time I tried this on x86-64 lilo on systems that used EDD broke.
EDD uses part of the bootup page too. So most likely it's not that simple.
And please don't shout your subjects.
On i386, the command line is never stored in the bootup page; only a
pointer to it is. The copying is done straight into the
saved_command_line buffer in the kernel BSS (head.S lines 79-104).
x86-64 does the same thing, but in C code (head64.c lines 45-56.) Thus,
if you had a problem with LILO, I suspect the problem was inside LILO
itself, and not a kernel issue.
