Especially vga=0x31a (or other higher resolution) is very bad for a server behind a terminal gateway or KVM which doesn't support this resolution. (The resolution was higher while installation using a local monitor) Regarding splash=native: some guys prefer to see information while booting. This happened with all 11.2 kernel updates of the last weeks The latest (2.6.31.12-0.2) has the same problem. Joe Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.bac 2. update kernel 3. diff /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.bac Actual Results: splash=silent vga=0x31a Expected Results: splash=native vga=normal -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
