A Better Way To Do vga=

I have the following parameter on my CentOS 6.10 grub kernel parameter:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-754.10.1.el6.x86_64 ro … rhgb quiet vga=34A

(the vga=34A parm)

However when I reboot I have to reenter this parm every time.
BTW, the vga=34A parm gives me a 1600x1200x32 VESA resolution.

But, even though it's coded during reboot the message comes up:
Undefined Video Mode Number: 22
So I have to enter 34A manually.

Why does it accept this parm when I enter it manually and not automatically?
How can I set this as a permanant setting and where do I set it?

And better yet, when I move to CentOS 7 how do I or do I need to set this on grub2?
TIA
