André,
I have an NVidia TNT2 and the following "vga=" values work for me:
vga=794 (1600x1200)
vga=791 (1280x1024)
vga=788 (1024x768)
vga=785 (800x600)
Unfortunately I forgot the source of that info; probably either in
kernel-source/Documentation or a header file somewhere.
If these don't give you a penguin (and a sharper console font) I would
guess either some necessary kernel compilation variable isn't set of
you're not running the kernel image that you think you are (big help,
right? :-))
Good luck,
Steve Cooper
