I'm running a fresh install of Debian Testing, and would love to be able to tell smxi to always drop a "vga=794' into my menu.lst when it updates the kernel.

I'd also like to be able to 'return' to a place 'higher' in the script (say, post d-u) for all of those times when I remember I forgot to do something. It would save me from having to exit the script and restart it.

Thanks in advance, and keep up the awesome work!

:D

If you use the "kopt" line in your menu.lst anytime update-grub is run everything in that line will be added to the kernel.

hi


[EDITTED]

if you are using grub2....there is another way.

Edit /etc/default/grub with root powers

these 2 lines
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

the top line affects your normal menuentry while
the bottom line affects your recovery entries (if you use them)

edit this line to make it
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet vga=794"

then run command (with root powers)



reboot to check

(quiet was my earlier option)
