What you have posted "vga=0x31a" is a option for GRUB to set the
graphics adapter to a certain configuration.  "rhgb" is also an option
for GRUB which causes the Red Hat graphical boot utility to be
launched. For more information regarding GRUB do a "info grub" from
the command line.

Actually what I want to do is to personalize the graphical boot screen. I wanted to use a personalized picture/splash screen... I've read about using bootsplash (www.bootsplash.org), but as I understood it requires for me to recompile the kernel. This is too much trouble for a 'simple' whim. So I wondered if there's a way to modify rhgb, or else I would just leave it as it is.

Thanks again!
