kernel boot prameters - where defined?

I would like to learn about all the possible boot parameters that can be passed from lilo to the kernel at boo time. What are they? What do they do?

Can someon etell me where to find this information. My distro has several parameters it sets uo for me, but i do not know what they mean.

Thanks.

You can find good information in the kernel documentation
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
(if your source tree is in /usr/src/linux)
