I don't think I understand your question.
What did you expect?
I expected higher resolution console, smaller font etc
Boy was I confused. I thought that your question was about the root=
kernel boot parameter.
Well, there are several questions to be asked. and one more comment.
1. what video (framebuffer) driver are you using?
Ashamed to say, but I do not know. vga=791 works perfectly when I
specifiy it via GRUB modification, either during pre-booting phase or in
menu.lst. I thought that it would work if I enable it by the oprions I
provided in the previous message.
2. is it builtin the kernel image or is it a loadable module?
Loadable mofule I suppose, I can see nvidia.ko in /lib/modules/... - I
install Nbvidia driver with Nvidia tool each time after kernel change.
Each time the module has to be compiled anew.
3. have you read Documentation/svga.txt and Documentation/fb/{fbcon,vesafb}.txt ?
No, I havent, yet.
And my comment is that your question (about video) would be better on the
linux-fbdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list. It's not about kbuild/kconfig,
unless kconfig is not saving the build parameters correctly...
But I don't know if it is a fb problem, I quoted kernel config
parameters I used, may be there is a problem with them?

Tak. Ja na przykład zrozumiałem że Jan Chrzciciel był
kolejarzem - bo: "z kolei udał się nad Jordan".
