I have successfully installed gentoo. In my grub.conf file, I included the line, "kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.4.24-2004-01-10 root=/dev/sda5 vga=ext".
This line successfully changes the startup kernel screen from 25 lines per screen to 50 lines per screen, which is as intended. However, sometime before the login prompt (probably when init begins), the consol returns to 25 lines per screen. I am migrating to gentoo from "Linux From Scratch" (LFS) distribution, where I used the same technique, but with LFS, there was no shift back to 25 lines. I often operate as root from the agetty login consoles. 50 lines per screen is more user friendly than 25. I have looked diligently for the location in startup scripts where this change is made, but have not been able to find any video altering commands. How can I have 50 lines on my login agetty consoles? Thanks, Larry -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
