does the list at this url cover *all* options or are there some hidden or newer ones by chance?

I was looking for something similar to a definitive list of boot options yesterday because of some problems installing FC4 onto an IBM Netfinity 3000...
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=157972
The "linux headless" option was a new one on me, "linux text" yes, but not "headless" and I wondered what else was available.
This was a PXE boot/Kickstart install and setup a text mode install in the .ks but even with that some probes were causing Anaconda to choke even with "skipx" or "xconfig --noprobe" prevented the problem. Anyway, passing the headless option as a kernel boot parameter worked, I suspect text would've too.
Here's the list for FC4, they may not all be applicable to CentOS.
