Try to put the option vga=792  instead of vga=788.

VGA=792,  force the videocard to go into SANE mode.  I had the same problem
that it hung during boot.  But after putting vga=792 it worked ok.  I read
this in matroxfb documentation.  Maybe for other videocards there are other
options as well.  But vga=792 will probably work for all cards (I hope).

Subject: [expert] Boot hangs / errors


Have just installed 7.2. on a coupla machines. Most everything is an
improvement. But alas some things don't work, or in my case probably
not configured correctly.

When booting up on my system using grub, there are two options /linux
and /linux-nonfb. The second one works the first option hangs. It
hangs when loading the graphic boot mode option...

The system log does not say anything on why its hanging.. need help!

Thanks
