You might want to check to make sure you have framebuffer support for your |
| 2 |
video card compiled in your kernel. For my laptop, I have radeon |
| 3 |
framebuffer support in the kernel. I do not have to specify a resolution on |
| 4 |
the kernel line in grub.conf and it automatically goes to 1280x800. |

Let us know if any of that helps, and good luck! |
