For example the RHGB boot (kernel line anaconda parameter "rhgb" in
grub.conf) is a framebuffer mode.

You trying to get a higher resolution console? Here's some docs from
my local wiki...

Edit your grub or lilo config and add vga=NNN where NNN is either the
hex or decimal equivalent to your desired resolution from the tables
below.

title White Box Enterprise Linux hi-res (2.6.9-5.0.5.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.0.5.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
vgaw3
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.0.5.EL.img

The tables for NNN (these may not line up right):

640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
256 0x301 0x303 0x305 0x307
32k 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x319
64k 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x31A
16M 0x312 0x315 0x318 0x31B
640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
256 769 771 773 775
32k 784 787 790 793
64k 785 788 791 794
16M 786 789 792 795
