Hi Steve, I wish I could help you, but my installation is a really simple one. I used Samuel's mini-beep.iso, and selected "standard" from the configuration menu, and that's all it took. No extra packages relating to frame buffers or displays, other than what the "standard" choice implied. I switched from lilo to grub a long time ago, so I can't compare my loader configuration to yours directly. But for what it's worth, here's the kernel line from my grub menu.lst: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro vga=791 quiet That seemed to wrap just now, but it's all one line in the configuration file. There's also an initrd, but again it was done for me by magic, I did nothing to modify or enhance it.
