Kernel 'vga=' parameter wierdness

[Asfand Yar Qazi]

'Scuse my noobness, but when I supply the following parameter to the arguments 
 of my kernel through GRUB, I get an 'undefined mode' error:

vga=0164

But then, when the prompt comes up asking me which mode I want I type in:

0164

and I get the required mode!

What's happening?  On 2.4 kernel, I used to boot with vga=0x0a (which is the 
same mode as 0164) and it would boot fine.  Not anymore...

Help?
