In order to have graphical boot mode, you need to have 800x600 frame buffer
mode. The installation might have changed it to other mode.
Checkout your /etc/lilo.conf. My config was like this to have 800x600 mode:
...
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="mdk_linux"
root=/dev/hda1
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5
splash=silent"
read-only
vga=788
^^^
your vga mode
...
You should have vga=788 in your boot kernel.
Also, "splash=silent" append option changes the boot look (didn't test this -
it probably changes to verbose mode just if you pressed "esc").
I have vga=791 for 1024x768 console, for example - just because I love the
oldschool kernel boot mode :-)
Good luck and hope this works for you.
Artemio.
