Grub /boot/grub/menu.lst hint, in debian, look for "#kopt" and append vga=0x317 to that line. Then run update-grub. Other distros edit the kernel root= line appropriately2. Lilo /etc/lilo.conf hint, look for the default image= and edit append= by appending vga=0x317 to it3. Quik /etc/quik.conf on PPC machines. Append vga=0x317 to the kernel argument line What's New in This Release: · This release adds default theme to initramfs so that it can fall back in case of problems with a newer theme. · It fixes a font problem with libdirectfb. · It fixes an LSB script issue that prevented some applications from installing correctly if Splashy was removed/missing (MySQL server, etc.). · There are no major C changes, and there are minor bugfixes.
