or my compiled kernel? These are the options I am passing:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9 root=/dev/hda3 ro ide0=ata66 idebus=66 vga=791
That generally switches to high res mode (both standard and mine), but in the latter I did not get the logo. I generally like to compile my own kernel and load things that are necessary. Most of the things I never need, so I drop them.
Regards,
Because your config file shows you load 2 fonts:
CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y
so the reason for my question was, what font gets loaded, since the only framebuffer boot parm you have seems to be vga=791.
I do just that, but with the CONFIG_FONT_SUN8x16, and get a blank screen.
Like I said in my previous post, the vesafb-tng patch WFM.
