Turns out it did work! Thanks! I found a table of all the vga= values on the net.
The video works on boot now, but it takes 120s to boot until it reaches a point where it switches to a vga mode that isn't slow as molasses. I think we've all seen over the years at least one time where a boot console scrolls like a 1200 baud modem. That's what we're seeing here with the new vga mode, obviously it's a barebones non-accelerated mode.
From my research, passing vga=ask will give you the codes for modes supported by the video adapter on the system. Those would be accelerated.
May I ask you to share the code you used? I would love to see if it results in the same behavior on my end :)
I will also give you a code for 1024x768 straight from the vga=ask + converted to pass as a vga= parameter to the kernel so you can test and see if it, pun may be intended, accelerates.
Kind regards,
