is there any way to get the boot splash screen.

You could try

"mkinitrd -s 1024x768" (or other resolution)

Add vga=791 (or whatever is your screen resolution)

Could you clarify the invocation that includes the VGA mode specification? Using "mkinitrd -s 1600x1200 vga=794" Yields this: # mkinitrd -s 1600x1200 vga=794 Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.9-0.4-bigsmp Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.22.9-0.4-bigsmp Could not find map vga=794/boot/System.map, please specify a correct file with -M. Putting the vga=794 before the "-s 1600x1200" doesn't change anything.

The line is just mkinitrd. -s manually sets the resolution. There are other switches you could use, i.e. -k for kernel name, -i for initrd name, etc. I'm not sure but I think it may check menu.lst or maybe something else to see what your frame buffer is set for, and automatically use that for the -s resolution if not specified. BTW, are you sure your card supports a 1600x1200 frame buffer?

FWIW I've never managed to get 1600x1200 splash to work, 1280x1024 highest I can do. YMMV. -- Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I believe this was the line in menu.lst to set the accompanying frame buffer resolution for booting.

Sorry wasn't clear enough, it goes in /boot/grub/menu.lst, add it to kernel parameter.

That I already knew and had already done.
