I've been creating bootable Linux CDs for some time, and something I've
consistently found is: on certain systems the splash screen won't display
when I use isolinux. All I get is white, empty space where the splash would
ordinarily go. Text included under the splash screen appears as it should,
but the image itself doesn't.
I've experimented with different resolutions of splash screens, and nothing
makes a difference.
In fact I went so far as to take the splash screen from Knoppix (which
displays fine on the systems I've found which have trouble with my own
splashes) and incorporated it into one of my own boot CDs using isolinux. The
same problem appears: empty white space.
Knoppix uses a floppy emulation, while I'm using no emulation.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Is there a fix for it?
Some background:
- I'm using syslinux 3.07.
- The systems I've used which have this problem are two machines using AMD
Duron processors and 1 Twinhead laptop using a Centrino.
- All of these machines only have trouble displaying graphics when booting
from isolinux.
