Hi, Well, I hate to tell you this, but the change to your boot script will be lost on upgrade. If you read the README, it clearly states not to modify scripts in /etc/init.d because they will be upgraded when new packages are installed. What he edited was a symlink to /etc/init.d. If reading the documentation in /usr/share/doc/console-setup and reconfiguring the package won't help, file a bug. It sounds like that might be a bug anyway, but I'm not familiar enough with the package to say. Also, I understand the reasoning behind still using lilo, but I think the reason why console-setup works the way it does is because it expects grub or grub2 to be installed. You can set your video mode there and shouldn't need to change console-setup at all. That's only a guess, I don't know for sure. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJOJp+QAAoJEPrAuJWnLe0y1AUP/iQ59/8RDBuLh6+hlSITTsDP ByDUwkYt+unFdWE81XfqGVTPXRkVUvH4sDnl9UQ3gNwAqu3KCraoo5BUxoEI/wwu zei2qhR5lNFZJzdCGp67pml2JSvXnxGwtUQTYLsATnyH9/5yCtIyUul7AMuh7d/2 Lh9jO9KdjdQurDmpvHr0umdvflSWNf3ez+UnNsIxT1jD0eWTYYE9Jj0zqYrTBIqR XzJ0qKNkMODGjsfxJCAXTr2gxtVIN5SbRCmYzYkkywbKvOFrbhjWis9FN06SvuVh VhzE3xXDrNBGZLZQISW4i4m0e81EN1ED6kihke5abmedbYLKooRwzqQwUXazBrFY Zbgsi3EbkmR/b9tpkioqZgkbyec+VH9faAsdN/U/2b53laWFyuAlfKOt1SFmSkFs N7GaudDmr0nAVGu6XIEwIrugdrOLkgS/og0+XTNPaBUaEe/gQ2SoXOMbGVPVVAHO yQ1RpQXQsoEtf0Vio9BCUNI1zNy1DpYsQERu07h+k+Z2Vjd8aDBYfEbk20Jq954U M9BdfAYKD1PJtLTXGSNNGwsZr6ptjnFi25BIOBcNtN0v6F1LMPDElCL8deRkFsve ao+9YlCYMC3V7XgDNmprNIjNVVJv7wd5lgKe+kXO4IsVNZsXe2ohY8ufNYQoGvj/ YuDi1pcjzxu1UVgGop8U =kkDb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
