When booting my RH 5.2 system with the parameter vga=ask in /etc/lilo.conf and selecting a video mode other than 25x80 {eg 50x80}, the display reverts to 25x80 mode when inetd starts in the bootup process. Even setting vga=1 in /etc/lilo.conf has the same problem - as soon as inetd starts, the display returns to 25x80 mode.
