Actually what happens is that the default console
And here comes the next problem.
I want a higher console resolution, therefore I use vga=6 as a kerneloption.
During system boot the resolution is set to the higher mode and then,
just before the system is sone boting, the console resolution switches
back to the default.
What's going on? I search

Text or VGA mode? I guess you faced the kernel framebuffer.
To disable it, use video=vga16:off.

If you are changing the vga line in lilo.conf you need to reinitialise lilo
to make it notice the changes i.e. type "lilo" on cmd line without any
arguments. I'm not too sure about grub but I imagine there's a similar
procedure.

Subject: Console vga mode
My Debian woody system boots into a 80x30 console.
Sometimes I'd like to have the old 80x25 screens back, how?
I have tried booting with vga=normal and vga=ask (and then '0') but it does
not change anything.
How do I switch to 25x80?
Thank

Thanks a lot, Robert.
