You might want to check to make sure you have framebuffer support for your
video card compiled in your kernel. For my laptop, I have radeon
framebuffer support in the kernel. I do not have to specify a resolution on
the kernel line in grub.conf and it automatically goes to 1280x800.
Let us know if any of that helps, and good luck!
