 |
|
[/code]Turning on the grub splash image makes a really distorted image appear for a few seconds then it goes back to verbose mode. Any ideas?
Here is my grub.conf.
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 1
#splashimage=(hd0,0)/etc/bootsplash/UnitedLinux
title=Gentoo
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel root=/dev/sda3
|
Thank you |

I think this line :
is a part of the problem.
With this line, you tell grub to wait 1 second before boot the default entry. So if you just increase this value, it should work

There's your problem, I believe. Bootsplash is similar to gensplash - it provides eye-candy that is shown after the kernel has been started.
A quick check of http://packages.gentoo.org doesn't turn up a grub-themes package or similar - so you'll have to find splashimages yourself. The standard grub package installs one to /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz (or at least it did for me).
You can make your own splash images - I think they're 640x480, 14 colour. I googled for "grub splash image".
http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/~mcgrof/grub-images/ <-- How to make your own images.
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Splash_image_in_GRUB <-- Covers just about everything to do with grub splash images, and has links to a couple of sites with images to download.
HTH.

GRUB splashimages can go anywhere you want them to, but you do have to specify the partition and the path correctly -- in v3trae's case, it would be on (hd0,2) not (hd0,0).
I agree, however, that it won't work even with the correct path, because bootsplash images are in a different format than GRUB splashimages. |
