When I boot Mandrake, my monitor doesn't display the boot menu. (my monitor complains that it can't display resolution or something like that). After the 10 second timeout, the booting continues and everything is fine, monitor displays boot sequence checks, etc...
I'm using a DELL 17 inch LCD monitor (digital mode)
Any clues?
Do you have anything custom in /boot/message? Have you tried taking out the line defining your own colour schemes for the LILO menu, re-writing LILO and rebooting?
No, I haven't touched the /boot/message. (it's the default one after an install)
I haven't played with the colour scheme either.
The VGA =788 is under my "linux" image, which is my default one and it's working ok.
Does that matter? Does it also get applied before that at the boot screen?
I thought only the information before your images gets applied before you select an image to boot???
