Very Computer

Hi,
I recently upgraded to RH5.2 and I suffer from the following problem.
My /etc/lilo.conf sets "vga=extended" and this works up to the moment when
from inside of the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
        # set the console font
        ...
          /sbin/setsysfont
        ...
is executed. In that moment the console is restored to 80x25 ( the
/sbin/setsysfont is a small shell script which internally calls
/usr/bin/setfont ).
I could simply comment this call to /sbin/setsysfont in the
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, but maybe it is needed ? Or maybe there is a more
sophisticated way to deal with this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Jacek.
