Test these vga modes from the grub commandline to see which ones work. you can then put vga=??? as a kernel cmd line option. On my system, vga=791 (1024x768) lets me see almost all the boot output on a line by line item.. Nice for validation that the boot process is working as planned.. <g>
--------------------------
VGA modes for boot loader (ie, vga=??)
ex: vga=785 would be 640x480 resolution
with 16bit 65000 colors
640 800 1024 1280
468 600 768 1024
