What else have I left out or done wrong?
I suspect there is something else causing the problem. My menu.lst is virtually identical to yours and the splash screen works normally on this machine while on a second with similar menu.lst the splash screen wont work. The only difference is the partition which holds the initrrd and root, etc. the one that works has hd0,1 while the other is hd0,4.
Wish I knew what the problem is, too.
Now I see part of the problem the grub boot menu is separate from the boot splash which comes up later when your asked for detail boot information or the graphic.
What I have been looking for is the graphical grub menu which existed in 8.2 but does not appear to exist in 9.1. How can I get the grub menu to be graphical.
Hi, I was away for a while but followed the discussion. I can tell you that bootsplash works with SuSE 9.1 and that the problem is on your side. You certainly have done something which broke the splash. 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. 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 ? Michel.
