Ioannis, you can put it in /boot/grub/grub.conf like

         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL ro root=LABEL=/1 vga=792

If you use grub.
Also while booting the grub you can press any key, navigate to the line 
related to
linux, press "e" key; navigate to the kernel line; press "e" again and 
type vga=792 [it depends on your video adapter]

792 means use the video card in 1024x768 graphic mode with [not sure 24 
bits per pixel or 32, google is you friend]
if you don't like the graphic mode [you would be able to see the linux 
penguin similar to Sun logo] you can try boot in the text mode.
please use the parameter

vga=ask

When you get the prompt from the video card type "scan" and you will see 
possible "resolutions for your card [I think it's standard VESA video modes]
when you happy with resolution write this mode into /boot/grub/grub.conf 
as above.

Thanks,
