Re: A lilo.conf question

["Michael D. Crawford" <crawford@goingware.com>]

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:
