Hello,
Today I had built a new next kernel with these parameters. I did not get
what I expected
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.
That does sound, hm, suspicious.
OK, the above is the main problem, right?
If so, I'll try to find time to test it.
aapi205:/usr/src/linux# gzip -cd /proc/config.gz | grep -A 1 vga=791
CONFIG_CMDLINE="root=/dev/sda2 ro quiet vga=791"
CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE=y
aapi205:/usr/src/linux# cat /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/sda2 ro quiet vga=791
First if all I tried to test whether the overriding code works at all,
and it seems it works, I am now booted having edited
root=/dev/nonexistent at GRUB prompt, and it seems that the values set
at build time have overriden values set at GRUB prompt. But the vga=791
parameter does not work at all, I have the usual console, with big
characters.
