>From the grub manual: "On x86 systems, the kernel will be booted using the 32-bit boot protocol. Note that this means that the 'vga=' boot option will not work; if you want to set a special video mode, you will need to use GRUB commands such as 'set gfxpayload=1024x768' or 'set gfxpayload=keep' (to keep the same mode as used in GRUB) instead. GRUB can automatically detect some uses of 'vga=' and translate them to appropriate settings of 'gfxpayload'. The linux16 command (see linux16) avoids this restriction." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
