I am facing a peculiar problem while booting with a kernel which has
framebuffer support.
My lilo.conf is as follows:
root=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot-bmp.b
bitmap=/boot/ins64a.bmp
bmp-colors=14,11,,15,9,0
bmp-table=21,287p,2,4,175p
bmp-timer=73,29,12,8,0
default="deb"
lba32
prompt
timeout=1200
image=/vmlinuz
label="deb"
root=/dev/hda3
append="vga=791"
read-only
image=/vmlinuz.old
label="old"
root=/dev/hda3
append="vga=791"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-16mdk
label=mdk9
root=/dev/hda9
append="vga=791"
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
table=/dev/hda
But when I choose 'deb', the system boots in 80x25 graphical mode,
rather than 1024x768x64K mode. Surprisingly, it does if I pass the
option vga=791 on the command line. FWIW, I am running sarge and the
lilo version is 1:22.3.3-2. Has anyone faced something similar?
Given a chance, I would like to use grub, but I _cannot_ with my present
motherboard :-(

It was all so different before everything changed.
