HD Install :: How to use a cheat code in hd install????

Hi there..
I have a truoble with my laptop display,
so I need need use a cheat code vga=xxx at the boot time
this work fine with the live cd, but how can i use it in the hd install??

Thanks..

I used grub as my boot loader. When I boot up it gives me several different cheat code lines. One matches my display..fb800x600....i select that one and away I go. Thats it... You can also edit the cheat codes before booting with grub.

After you install, at rebbot, hit tab...

then type linux (or whatever the linux option was) and type:
vga=normal

so =>

linux vga=normal

and boot

The next step is different for lilo and grub

FOR LILO
open /etc/lilo.conf in you fav editor as root, and you will see the Linux title with stuff like
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda1
label = Linux
read-only

put

append="vga=normal"

after it, save the file, and do

sudo /sbin/lilo

this will rewrite lilo to make vga=normal default

FOR GRUB
You'll have stuff like
title Linux
kernel (hd0,9)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda10
splash=silent desktop hdc=ide-scsi hdclun=0 showopts
initrd (hd0,9)/boot/initrd

put vga=normal after root=/dev/hXYZ

and then
sudo /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda
(change hda to whatever you got)

HOPE THIS WORKS

It work excellent..!!!

Alternativly you can boot into root and open
/boot/grub/menu.1st in beaver and edit it directly.
Be careful what you change though.
