Video Modes Problem

[JMAC]

At boot the screen tells me it has an undefined video mode hit<SPACE> to continue or <RETURN> to see list of video modes. What would be the correct mode?

[Kiniyen]

Hmm I use mode number six and it seems to work fine.

I get the same thing I think. If we are talking about the same thing, then all it is asking is the video mode for the textual part of the boot process. So AFAIK it almost doesn't matter. I picked 0 and it worked.

Check the bootlader's config file. It probably has a 'vga=NNN' added at the end of the 'kernel' file. If so, you can edit the value directly (i. e. 791 for a 1024x768 res.)

Yeah, vga=791 works for me. It can be entered as a "cheatcode" at boot time - then if it works, add it to your bootloader.
