When my SuSE 9.0 boots up it does so without using a bootsplash theme. Bootsplash packages are installed so how do enable these at startup?
Is YaST2 -> System -> editor for /etc/sysconfig Files -> System -> Boot -> SPLASH set to "yes"?
Yup it is set to 'yes', and a theme is chosen, but still it wont show anything....??? [...]I spent last nite trying to do different things in my lilo.conf[...]
You are using LILO. I am using GRUB.
My standard GRUB kernel line for 9.0 looks like this:
kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 vga=0x317 splash=silent desktop hdb=ide-scsi hdblun=0 showopts
This makes my boot splash work.
What does your corresponding LILO kernel line look like?
Best regards (hilsen) :o)

Hey Johnny I just changed loader from lilo to grub, and compared my config file to yours which is more or less the same. I added the vga=0x317, but that didnt work well. Actually it didnt boot at all. Which vga mode should I use for a laptop LCD screen with a max. res of 1024x768 anyways??? Here is the grub entry for linux: title Linux kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 showopts splash=silent desktop initrd (hd0,4)/boot/initrd Note: the laptop is dualboot with winxp Thx again.
