Lilo and vga=791
I am facing a peculiar problem while booting with a kernel which has framebuffer support. My lilo.conf is as follows: root=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot-bmp.b bitmap=/boot/ins64a.bmp bmp-colors=14,11,,15,9,0 bmp-table=21,287p,2,4,175p bmp-timer=73,29,12,8,0 default=deb lba32 prompt timeout=1200 image=/vmlinuz label=deb root=/dev/hda3 append=vga=791 read-only image=/vmlinuz.old label=old root=/dev/hda3 append=vga=791 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-16mdk label=mdk9 root=/dev/hda9 append=vga=791 read-only other=/dev/hda1 label=dos table=/dev/hda But when I choose 'deb', the system boots in 80x25 graphical mode, rather than 1024x768x64K mode. Surprisingly, it does if I pass the option vga=791 on the command line. FWIW, I am running sarge and the lilo version is 1:22.3.3-2. Has anyone faced something similar? Given a chance, I would like to use grub, but I _cannot_ with my present motherboard :-( Regards, -- Sridhar M.A. It was all so different before everything changed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Lilo and vga=791
Hi Yall Sridhar, just change it too vga=791 for each option you want too; no append statement is needed. That way, you can have multiple resolutions available @ boot time. Well, try it with one see how that goes. The above is how I work mine :-) *BFN* H :-) Arrogant dragon will have cause to repent Sridhar M.A. wrote: I am facing a peculiar problem while booting with a kernel which has framebuffer support.
