For example in pxelinux.cfg/default I can do: --- label vgainteractiverh72 kernel vmlinuz.rh72 append vga=extended root=/dev/ram0 initrd=initrd.img.rh72 console=tty0 --- I tried in elilo.conf: --- prompt timeoutP default=localdisk verbose=5 image=vmlinuz.rh72-ia64 label=vgainteractiveia64 read-only append = "vga=extended console=tty0" --- And them type in vgainteractiveia64 when prompted, but the kernel panics because I didn't append a root option. I've tried root=/dev/ram0 and that doesn't work either.
