For the options to persist across kernel updates/upgrades, add the
options 'nosmp' and 'noapic' to /boot/grub/menu.lst on the kopt= line,
then run 'update-grub'.  This works for all kenel versions.  For
example, edit:

# kopt=root=/dev/sda1 ro
to:
# kopt=root=/dev/sda1 ro nosmp noapic

Then run 'update-grub' and take a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst - you
should see your default options added to all the kernel boot blocks.

Take a look at the other option sections, if you wish to enable options
only in the alternative or non-alternative boot options.
