I'm guessing the kernel name is 'linux'. It's actaully the label name
in LILO, if you had a label ... otherwise it's the name of he image, I
believe. No matter, as you can hit the <tab> key at the boot prompt to
see a list of valid boot images.
However, I don't think your 2940U is the problem. The no_reset
parameter is to prevent the HBA from resetting the SCSI bus, which it
does by default to allow all the SCSI devices on the bus to initialise.
Could you submit a more detailed description of your problem? When does
it reboot? What is the "infinite cycle"? What kind of hardware in your
machine, etc...
