Comment 15 for bug 86820

The easy way to have these options automaticaly added when there's a kernel upgrade is to add them in /boot/grub/menu.lst at the following section:

## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=quiet splash locale=fr_FR i8042.nomux i8042.reset

Hope this help.
