"vga=788" is deprecated but only if you use Grub2. PCLinuxOS uses Grub legacy, and the Grub2 script that should detect other operating systems is broken and won't detect systems like PCLinuxOS properly. Have a look at hal8000's and djohnston's replies in this thread: http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,106308.msg909717.html#msg909717.

How to overcome the problem in different ways has been posted numerous times. Search for Grub2 and chainloading. Even if most of the hits will tell you how to chainload a Grub2 system from Grub legacy, there have been a few posts about doing it the other way around.

(And according to the documentation for Grub2 using the the traditional boot option "vga=XXX" should not lead to a failed start; you should get a warning and then the option should just be ignored.)
