Thank you very much. vga=normal on kernel input line means text mode. NAICT, with vga=normal in lilo.conf/grub.lst, console is incapable of displaying graphics. With nothing to explain what all those silly little icons and graphics mean during boot or with all the messages displayed run together in illegible microfonts and instantly overwritten, I find no use whatsoever for Aurora.
