Setting up a display mode

For a machine booted from media, a display video mode is detected automatically based on the hardware configuration (monitor and graphics card specifications). If, for some reason, the video mode is detected incorrectly, do the following:

  1. In the boot menu, press F11.
  2. Add to the command prompt the following command: vga=ask, and then proceed with booting.
  3. From the list of supported video modes, choose the appropriate one by typing its number (for example, 318), and then press ENTER.

If you do not wish to follow this procedure every time you boot from media on a given hardware configuration, re-create the bootable media with the appropriate mode number (in our example, vga=0×318) typed in the Kernel parameters window (see the Bootable Media Builder section for details).
