[syslinux] Equivalent to GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep with vesamenu?
Hi I was wondering, with syslinux/isolinux is there a way I can do something similar to GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep where the framebuffer initialization is passed to be usable in the Linux kernel, where if vesamenu is being used, there is no need to pass a VGA option to the kernel? Thanks
