I didn't make myself clear. Please let me try again . . .
In grub, when booting CentOS, I set my kernel parameters to 132 x 60,
and the boot started with that setting. Some time during the process of
booting up, a command was executed that changed my console mode to
something like 132 x 30.
I disabled "setsysfont" in rc.sysinit, and that delayed the switch until
a few steps later.
I disabled Red Hat Graphical Boot, and that delayed the switch still
further.
Down about the point where the filesystems are being brought up, the
switch still takes place, and I can't find out where this happens. So I
guess I give up on keeping the boot process from second-guessing the
kernel parameters, they seem dead set on doing this.
That brings me back to my original question:
>DOS had a simple "mode" command that would switch the screen mode on the fly. I know Linux has no such simple tool, but is there something I can do after the fact to get the console density I want? Or can someone suggest another place in the boot sequence where the static might be coming from?
