I think what you want is to give the vga parameter as an option to lilo itself at the top of the file, not as a parameter to a kernel in an append line. I have this on my laptop:
boot = /dev/hda2 delay = 50 vga = 792 image = /vmlinuz append="ide0=autotune ide1=autotune video=atyfb:1024x768,font:SUN12x22" root = /dev/hda2 label = Linux read-only that makes lilo initialize the VMA _before_ it boots the kernel. At least that's my understanding. You can find my lilo.conf and other configuration files (X etc.) at: http://www.goingware.com/linux/configs/ On Mon, 2002-01-07 at 21:54, Stan Brown wrote: > image=/vmlinuz > label=Linux > read-only > append="video=vesa:mtrr vga=0x31b" > > What I think shhould work, but doesn;t is: > > append="video=vesa:mtrr vga=0x31b hdc=ide-scsi" ct of "unsubscribe".
