Using Grub the above line does give me a display.
For more fancy/effective graphics on the console you can try using matroxfb: No "vga=" but "video=matrox:vesa:792" (hex: 0x318 = 0x118). This would give you 1024x768 @ 32 bpp. See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/matroxfb.txt for details. All in all: kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdg3 video=matrox:vesa:792 \ resume=/dev/sdg2 splash=native showopts nomodeset or with hex: kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdg3 video=matrox:vesa:0x318 \ resume=/dev/sdg2 splash=native showopts nomodeset If that works, you can use splash=verbose.
