I edit the command line of grub at boot time .
I passed some parametres to kernel like below:
root=/dev/sda6 video=atyfb:1024x768@60m
and I also tried another one:
root=/dev/sda6 video=aty128fb:1024x768@60m
Both of them didn't show any error messages and the system
can start up, but the resolution still no changed.
There is an issue happened in my buiding kernel : I hadn't found
the driver for my video card. I'm not sure whether it has anything
to do with this issue?
BTW, my video card information is below:
ATI Technologies Inc M92 LP (ATI Radeon 4330 series)

you could try the parameter vga.
I am using vga=795 which is for resolution 1280x1024.
