Slack + new kernel = huge font

[martin]

I just compiled a new kernel(2.6.0-test11) in Slack 9.1 and when I rebooted the font during boot up(text based) was huge. How do I correct this?
I have an nvidia geforce II ti200 card with the newest drivers and screen resolution of 1024 x 768.

Did you compiled vesa framebuffer support when you compiled the kernel?

[martin]

Yes I did.

Are you using lilo or grub as a boot loader?

Can you post the contents of grub.conf or of lilo.conf?
