It appears that lilo thinks my video adapter is CGA, thus rejects the video mode I specify in /etc/lilo.conf. What does lilo use to detect the video adapter? This comes with the problem that it displays nothing at boot.

It happened after I upgraded the kernel from 5.7.2 to 5.7.3 and persists when I boot into 5.7.2.

The BIOS Data Area (does anybody still use that?) used to have this information. How would I rewrite it? Or is it the Extended BIOS Data Area, which apparently still exists. How do I edit that?latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=4wYjh56R03w:tNFPuq-j9tA:F7zBnMy latest?i=4wYjh56R03w:tNFPuq-j9tA:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=4wYjh56R03w:tNFPuq-j9tA:gIN9vFw4wYjh56R03w
