OK I tried vga=771 and vga=0x317 and neither give me the frame. Not a big issue as I have been using linux for about six years without a frame on boot but it is a annoying me as I dont understand why it wont work. One thing has occured to me in that I reinstalled and changed all my partitions to reiserfs except /boot (still ext2) while ago and maybe it stopped workling then. Can the boot process read the graphics off a /usr partition that is reiserfs ?
It does not read the graphics from a partition, it reads it from the initial ramdisk. If you do mk_initrd, you will see it will put in the images for the animations etc. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A.
