Ok, I'm not sure what that initrd line is. I've never seen it before,
and it's not in the lilo.conf(5) manpage. Strings it, and see if it has
the parameters you're looking for, though I doubt it. More likely would
be that you're not actually passing the parameters to the kernel, but to
modules. I'm not sure if redhat uses an /etc/modules like debian, and I
don't have a redhat system anymore to check for you. Look for this,
though, it's just a list of modules the kernel loads at boot time and
their parameters.
Hope this helps.
