Description Bill Estell 2006-02-28 05:55:25 UTC
Description of problem:
Unable to change text console resolution

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd1,1)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdb10
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hdb2
default=0
timeout=15
