I thought we were talking about the graphical boot - which to me is a bootsplash - rather than the menu graphic. Have I got the terminology wrong?
Actually, I don't know for sure. I don't care whether I have a graphical boot or not. My 9.0 had a graphical boot. If I was sitting at the console during boot, I usually hit <F2>(or whatever it was) so I could see the detail. I just like to see if there are any slow spots or errors I may have missed before. My 9.1 install doesn't have a graphical boot, which is fine. That said, I associate boot splash with the boot process, not with grub which is a boot loader. My confusion in this thread comes from the OP:
Boot splash is installed. but on reboot the grub menu is still text not graphical. what turns it on. In 8.2 pro it had a nice graphical around the menu.
The first line leads me to think 'boot process'... The following lines seem to indicate the boot loader screen. Since I was confused, I didn't respond right away. All the responses went toward the boot process and not the grub menu, and since they weren't doing what the OP wanted, I thought I would take a different track. I still don't know if it was the right track! Doug
