Not as long as your package version does not conflict with Debian
packages i.e. create a package with the version x.ab-zy_jim such as

The gentoo docs said to add the following line to lilo.conf:
append="vga=788"
When I run lilo I get the following error:
Fatal: APPEND or LITERAL may not contain "vga="
After googling I found out that an error is generated if 'vga' exists in
the append="" conf option:

You need to use framebuffer on the console.
Google will tell you more, but you need to compile support for that into
your kernel. Go from there.

Hi All,
I recently bought a 17" LCD monitor which has a 'native' resolution of
1280x1024. I would like my ttys/consoles to have a resolution of

To load the framebuffer my /etc/modules contains:

Problem completely solved. There was also a line in /etc/fstab that
specifically mentioned /dev/sda1. It now refers to /dev/sda, and the USB
drive was mounted at start-up. Hooray.
I'll re-read the recent thread about USB drives and hotplug, and see if
I can sort this out once and for all - just
Modest victory! I have just succeeded in mounting the shared partition,
so the problem wasn't with the vfat module. That one was a problem with
my brain.
I do have the usb-storage, vfat, msdos and fat modules loaded, so I
think that bit's all sorted:
usb-storage58528 0

Doh! You're right about /dev/sda, but it didn't help. msdos filesystem
didn't work either. Of course, I can't mount the shared fat partition
either.
Here's what the scsi system has to say:
$ sudo sg_scan -i

usb sticks are often formatted msdos, not vfat, try -t msdos.
also somethimes they are not partitioned in the normal way, and the
filesystem may be on /dev/sda not /dev/sda1
keep fiddling.

I can't mount any FAT partitions - neither my shared FAT partition nor

or too many mounted file systems

ISTR they cost about $20 each (and of course you have to buy two at a
time). I bought them from Oz

How much did the video baluns cost?
