how do you create or edit the [resolution].spl files in the boot/loader/ area of the install CD? or otherwise go about making a custom bootsplash for an autoinstall? have been looking at whatever information I can find regarding gfxboot, syslinux/isolinux, and bootsplash but I am still having trouble getting anything to work...any how-tos you guys can point to would be great...or if you can nudge me in the right direction I don't mind putting a how-to together when I am done
thanks for your time!

Hi
I had setup a set of nodes for SLES9 autoinstallation - which executed successfully but on booting , the nodes hang with a display of "GRUB". On using knoppix live CD, i was able to mount the hard disk on one of the nodes, the grub files seem to have the proper partition numbers ( at first , i had booted the system with "SLES9 CD1 " and selected "repair installed system" - but the partition check tools displayed partitions entries to be "/dev/null" so i had to resort to knoppix CD).
Any help / suggestion is appreciated.
thanks kanji
PS: i tried to attach y2log file but looks like the mailing list allows only 30k per mail.
