You certainly have done something which broke the splash. On the machines that don't do splash I did a fresh install with plain old suse kernel all updated by Yast. Did you compile your kernel ? if so did you change the config options such as initrd bootsplash, framebuffer ...?
If not and if you use the native SuSE kernel, it should work. No changes made to any of the above. In order to reply to an earlier post, I've to tell that I always use the vanilla kernel (2.6.8-rc2 at the present time) but that I patch it with tha bootsplash patch that I've to maintain up to date by myself.
Did you upgrade from SuSe 8.2 or did you make a fresh install ?
What is the type of your video card ? Intel 855 Gm on a Dell 1150.
I have followed all the suggestions so far with no luck. If I go into Yast>System>Runlevel Editor and look at the splash entries, Splash Early and Splash Late are running. Splash is not running so I click start and I get the error message : /etc/init.d/splash start returned 5 (program is not installed). So I look at /etc/init.d/splash and it is identical to the machine that works. Then I look into /sbin and I find splash and splash.bin which are the same as the machine that works. I checked the splash rpms and they are installed. To be sure, I remove and reinstall them but problem remains the same. Just now I did a cat /proc/splash which returned no such file or directory. On the machine that works it returns Splash screen v3.1.6 . . .: on So my question now is how is the /proc/splash supposed to get the correct info? I wonder if the others with this problem have the same result with cat /proc/splash. Richard
