Old line:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi rhgb

New line:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi rhgb
hde=noe hdg=noe

All these things like "rhgb" or "hdc="ide-scsi" are kernel parameters.
You could also set "apm=off acpi=on".  Using lilo they are given the
kernel with append="hde=none" i.e.
