Hello,

Is there a way to change the screen resolution that is used during the
kickstart %pre section?   I use the pre section of the kickstart on
RHEL4 and 5 to query the user doing the install for input.   RHEL4 and
5 default to vga with fairly large fonts.   As of RHEL6 it seems to
discover the hardware and then adjusts the display.  The result is a
very tiny font.   I do installs via a pxeboot server and have tried
various options to the append line
for the pxe kernel with no affect.  Any input would be greatly appreciated

Thanks.

If the machines are using the nouveau driver, you can probably append nouveau.modeset=0 to the pxe command line for the kernel.

I think that should give you back the old behavior.

You can also put a sleep in the pre section, switch to the vt on F2. cat /proc/cmdline to see how the kernel got started and check to see if there's an obvious parameter that can be adjusted.
