I'm not sure append="quiet ..." for the default kernel is a good idea.
When I boot, all I get to see is a few harmless kernel error messages: request_module[md-personality-2]: Root fs not mounted and 2 stray [OK] that just appear by themselves. Under that framebuffer, everything is working normally. But I have to admit, I was really freaked out when that message was *all* I saw =P It would be better to have *no* output messages then to show *only* the error messages. It's easy enough to have another lilo entry that works normally.
