 |
|
Hi!
My Grubconfig, menu.lst with the grub.conf symlink on it, here :
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 15
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo system
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel/system/bzImage root=/dev/hda6 vga=0x31A
title=Gentoo safe
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel/safe/bzImage root=/dev/hda6
title=Windows 2000
root (hd0,2)
chainloader +1
|
But there is no Splashimage, just the Gray/Black - Menu!
What can i do? btw its the orig. Splashimage!
greetz, tomboy |

When you are at the grub prompt try:
| Code: | grub>find (hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
|
If it comes back with a 15 file not found error try it again with a different path such as :
| Code: | grub>find (hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
|
If you manage to find the splash image like this then you can be sure that the problem is with the link you made. Make sure its a hard link and not a soft one. If you need to change the path just make sure you update grub.conf accordingly.
Hope this helps. There are plenty of other commands you can run at the grub prompt to debug your config - check the help.

Hi
Is there any splash.xpm.gz under /boot/grub/ ?
if there is then it's probably corrupt.
Try to get a new one or ask for a replacement!

I romeved the /boot from (hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
so it is (hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

correct, grub changed the way of handling device + path entries in the .conf file...
took me 2h to figure this out

ps: somebody should update the install*.html on the hp |
