In my previous version of Linux (RH 7.2) I had a kernel parameter vga=1 to set an 80x50 console screen for bootup. I have done this with GRUB/Fedora, but this is reset to 80x25 when the default font is set. I tried commenting out the lines which do this in rc.sysinit but the size gets changed again later on.
Surely there must be a way of doing this in a manner which does not require hacking deep into the startup system?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Try putting something like:
SYSFONT="LatArCyrHeb-08"
in the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n.

Try putting something like:
SYSFONT="LatArCyrHeb-08"in the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n.
The file already has:
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
Is that the problem? Should I be changing that to what you gave above?

I always set vga=791, why? G.d knows
Hi,
well I too changed the default parameter in my grub.conf file. You can use a parameter like vga=792 which brings you to a 1024x768 with 32 bpp (I think), or you can use vga=795 to have a even bigger resolution.
Hope that helps,
