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.
I don't know much about graphical booting but if I understand your question correctly, you are asking about a graphic at the grub menu stage, not during the boot process.
If so, that is done with the grub entry gfxmenu. On my machine that is gfxmenu (hd0,6)/boot/message
gfxmenu (hd0,9)/message Perhaps I need only hack to make mine reflect; yours. Looks like there is a file called message in /boot
Just make sure it is pointing to a file that was built for this purpose.
Can I use my own graphic?
While man (as in man grub) is a good friend in trying to solve problems, info (as in info grub) sometimes helps more. From info grub:
gfxmenu -------
- Command: gfxmenu file Use the graphical menu interface. The graphics data are taken from FILE and must be created using 'mkbootmsg' from the gfxboot package.
While I haven't tried this, it looks like you can build your grub screen.
Hope that helps Doug -- | \ /|\ || |\ / |~~\ /~~\ /~~| //~~\ | \ / | \ || | X |__/| || |( `--. |__ | | \| \_/ / \ | \ \__/ \__| \\__/
