I've even tried replacing the SuSE folder, with the 9.2 version. Still no difference.
Why is it so difficult to make such a simple change??? What am I missing?
Did you remember to run mk_initrd ? The boot splash image is stored in there, which is how it can be displayed before the root file system is mounted
That should be mkinitrd. In 9.2, there's a symlink mk_initrd, pointing to it, but not in 9.3 Also, perhaps I'm missing something obvious here, but if I make a change in the sysconfig editor, shouldn't there be some mention somewhere, about running mk_initrd? I can't find any info on changing the image in the 9.3 admin guide or SuSE Linux 9 Bible. It also doesn't work. When I run mkinitrd, it shows the appropriate files being used. Also, /boot/initrd shows an updated write time. So while it runs and saves a new file, it apparently doesn't change the image. Further, the "Help" in sysconfig editor contains the following: "After you save your changes, this editor changes the variables in the corresponding sysconfig file. Then it starts activation commands, which changes the underlying configuration files, stops and starts daemons, and runs low-level configuration tools so your configuration in sysconfig takes effect." Wouldn't this imply, that any changes should be automatically executed, without running mkinitrd?
