    linux 26 means use the 2.6 series kernel
    noapic --I think apic has to do with support for dual cpu's; somebody correct me on this if I'm wrong
    noapm --apm is advanced power management
    xmodule= --specifies what video driver to use
    try also 'noapci' --advanced power & configuration interface
