I've never had append="vga=foo" work for me in lilo.conf, always using just vga=foo instead If the vga= option works instead of the append usage method, then I'm going to close this out. I don't think the vga= option was ever supposed to work in an append= line by my reading of the lilo docs. Sorry, I messed up. |
I have the following entry in my lilo.conf ------------- image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.6-3.1 label=linux initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.6-3.1.img read-only root=/dev/hda3 append="vga=791" ---------------- If I run lilo everything looks fine, but upon reboot the kernel does not boot into fb mode. If I type "linux vga=791" at the lilo promt it works fine. This is very important to me since my vga card won't work otherwise. And having to type "linux vga=791" at every boot is a pain. Maybe this is also related to #50695.
