Yet more on the splash :-)

I never could see the splash boot screen on my system. This is what I get when I am doing the initrd image:

petit:/home/pep # mk_initrd using "/dev/hda8" as root device (mounted on "/" as "reiserfs") creating initrd "//boot/initrd" for kernel "//boot/vmlinuz" (2.4.10-4GB) module reiserfs is "/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/kernel/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.o"-> insmod reiserfs Concatenating splash picture size 640x480 to initrd... No config file present (expected /usr/share/splash/bootsplash-640x480.cfg).

And yes, in /usr/share/splash/ there is no bootsplash-640x480.cfg:

when i run ksplash it says can't connect to server, i am assuming splash is the colorful console that comes with suse; it was working fine until i upgraded the kernel. i see no diff in my lilo.conf file

Do you have splashanim-0.2-22.i386.rpm installed?

Maybe your updated kernel doesn't have framebuffer support. I believe it needs it for you to get the whole splash (otherwise it is just the penguin. ). -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871

use the force, use the sdb! :-)

i hope this helps ...

i have not tried this yet but the funny thing is i dont have a /usr/share/splash!!!! and before updating the kernel it was working!!!! by splash i mean the colorful console not x.... anyway i doubt updating the kernel removed /usr/share/spalsh, and also i'll try this anyway
