GRUB can't use Frame Buffer?

[Wolf Pup]

When GRUB is started using the frame buffer, it says "You passed an unidentified mode number", does this mean it can't be enabled?

Here's grub not using frame buffer.

Hi,
I have never seen a "menu.lst" like this
Did you install your puppy on harddisk?

from the kernel config options in /lib/modules/:

CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=m

so the kernel probably would need to be recompiled with frame buffer support to support other vga modes
