I had to downgrade my new SuSE 8.0 installation to a vanilla kernel (2.4.17) in order to install some patches for my sony vaio laptop that were getting confused by the extra patches SuSE puts into their kernels...
Is there an easy way to get the splash screen back while I'm booting? It looks nice.
Here's an extract from my last kernel build, under 7.3. I think the -s auto gives you the Sp(l)ash Screen. ...5.3.02... copy bzImage from /usr/src/linux-2.4.18.SuSE/arch/i386/boot to /boot and rename vmlinuz-2.4.18-4GB copy System.map from /usr/src/linux-2.4.18.SuSE to /boot and rename System.map-2.4.18-4GB # mk_initrd -k "vmlinuz-2.4.18-4GB" -i "initrd-2.4.18-4GB" -s auto edit /etc/lilo.conf and change kernel to 2.4.16 (doesn't remove old kernel or modules) # lilo -b /dev/fd0 [installs lilo on a floppy. If it doesn't work, I still haven't lost anything] reboot (from floppy) JDL -- Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit.
