Use one of these numbers instead of the ask value for vga. On my
laptop, I use 800x600 @ 64k by appending vga=0x314 to my kernel line
in grub.conf.
Ah yes, this avoids those horrible looking fonts that get used at
vga=3 or 6, and the size remains in place throughout bootup.
vga=0x318 seems about right here....
Thanks.
