My stock kernel (2.4.27-3-k7) gives the same settings, but doesn't let me change anything. In fact it seems to ignore any of the vga= options, including "vga=ask". Here's what I see in dmesg's output: Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda5 ro vga=4 hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi vga=791 Initializing CPU#0 Detected 2104.783 MHz processor. Console: colour VGA+ 80x30 This is sad because it's a non-X system and I'd like to see some more info on the console screen.
