I checked my boot.log last night and came up with this when trying to load the splash screen: <6>vesafb: framebuffer at 0xe4000000, mapped to 0xe080d000, size 32768k <6>vesafb: mode is 1024x768x16, linelength=2048, pages=9 <6>vesafb: protected mode interface info at c000:7d40 <6>vesafb: scrolling: redraw <6>vesafb: directcolor: size=0:5:6:5, shift=0:11:5:0 <6>Looking for splash picture... no good signature found. <4>Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 <6>fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device What really caught my eye was the "no good signature found" part. What's that mean? Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

All the images are there. Keyboard, Power Sign, world, etc... That's the part that really getting me! I'm yelling at my computer...Look! It's right there! Work with me a 'bit here! I've got the directory, the pictures, Bootsplash=yes in bootconfig (via YAST2), vga=791. The only thing I think I'm missing is the framebuffer link. I think that's what's causing it, but I can't be sure.

If read all the posts on how to get the Bootsplash working. Well, none has helped. I have it installed (8.0) and loaded. Still all I get is the little penguin on the top left. I can only assume that I don't have my framebuffer setup.
Can someone shed some light on this? I just managed to the the penguin working last night. I'm a bit hesitant to play with the framebuffer setup.
I know this is not the most critical thing on this group, but anyone's 2-cents would be appreciated.

Tom, I wondered about this same thing while using 7.2 & 7.3 after updating my kernels a couple of times. I enjoyed the Tux in the upper left corner, but I still missed my backgrounds and splash screens. After some investigation and hints from others, I found I was missing my bootsplash directory! The location of the bootsplash in 7.3 was /usr/share/splash/bootsplash and there resided all my pictures and animations for the the bootup. I don't remember the total size but do remember all the files would not fit on a floppy. Check there first for your files. I think with the kernel updates, etc. it gets erased or moved, so you may have to create it and add the pictures you want to use.
