Hello all, Forgive me if this has been asked before, I've been googling for two days now and the only thing that I've learned is that bootsplash is a total black art. I'm booting off of a USB stick and I've finally gotten a splash screen to appear before vmlinuz and initrd load, but once they load the splash screen scrolls off the screen. Is there any way to make it behave and stay there until X starts to load? Is there an altern...

hi! i'm davide from italy and i'm building one live version of Fedora Core3 and, would like to add the verbose bootsplash (for all strartup process) for it i doesn,t understand if is it depending from isolinux, or if i need a patched isolinux version many thanks! -- cosmogonia <http://www.cosmogonia.org/> noprovarenofareononfarenonc'?provare

Howdy, I use isolinux very successfully to boot a CD on which I have a kernel with an initramfs compiled in that holds the bootsplash as well as an external initrd with a boot script. the CD boots fine and everything works the way it should. My problem is actually when I try to boot the same kernel and initrd from the HD of a machine (easy way to boot the CD without altering the BIOS). For some reason, the kernel fails to load...

Hi there, I am trying to migrate from using syslinux with the gfxboot patch to using vesamenu.c32 which is a much simpler solution for my needs. The only problem I am having is that when I attempt to use the "splash=silent" kernel parameter it always boots as though I had entered "splash=verbose". By which I mean that the vga mode is correct, and the verbose graphics are

CentOS 4, booting into gnome I noticed the line "starting the red-hat network monitor" flash up. I do not know if this is a no-no or not.

Hi, how do i enable boot splash (graphical boot) in CentOs5.1 ? I am in init 5, i have updated from minimal install to GNOME using yum groupinstall. Thanks in advance!

...I apologize if this is the wrong spot...The reason I posted here is that I recall running across a syslinux changlog that said "..added support for reading .spl..." files. I want to customize the suse boot up splash screens (for a CD install). I have been attacking it from the gfxboot and bootsplash side of things...but I believe that the [resolution].spl files they supply are one of my final links...I have searched and searched but can not seem to find any docs about using/creating these archives(?)...so, any advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks Lee

Hi, is there any way to simulate a PXE boot from an Etherboot ROM? Background: I am using PXES in a customer project. PXES supports bootsplash only via pxelinux. The customer machines only have old ISA network cards for which there appears to be no PXE boot rom so I have to use Etherboot. Maybe one could build an NBI image from pxelinux.0 somehow ??? Use a newer etherboot image as a second stage loader? N.B.: nbgrub only supplies boot...

Hi, recent isolinux versions work fine with current linux kernels on current hardware. But on older hardware there isn't a bootsplash visible at all - like if there isn't a CD in the tray. :( Sadly the older isolinux versions don't work with current kernels (giving me an empty /proc/cmdline for example when using kernel 2.6.23), otherwise I'd just use an old isolinux version of course. I tested several isolinux vers...

Hi there, I''m using the Suse Enterprise 10 RC2 along with Xen 3.0.2 on X86-64 and I''m experiencing a problem with the network. I boot into the Xen kernel and everything works just fine. I can browse the net etc. However after a while the network stops responding completely. I am not sure what causes this to happen or what triggers it. After a few hours, the network just stops

Hello, I setup pxelinux, a bootsplash and a help screen (F1). Now i would like that F2 boots the default kernel. It is possible to assign F2 to boot a kernel? I did not found this topic in the syslinux.doc. How cann i tell pmmtolss16 to assign i to a specific color? I tried something like: pmmtolss16 #ff0000=2 < foo.pmm >...

...ap graphic is retained when control is passed to the loaded kernel image; i.e., the screen is not blanked to alphanumeric mode before starting the kernel. Is it possible for vesamenu.c32 (or syslinux in general) to support similar functionality? This would be very handy replacement of all the bootsplash/gensplash/whatever kernel patches. Thank you very much for consideration! Tomas M

It''s not quite clear how to go about this so hopefully whoever maintains the FAQ is on this list. As part of closing bug #156, it would be nice to add a sentence on item 4.8 (The initrd that came with my distro does not...) to include the following sentences: "Some distros (notably SLES9) have a mkinitrd that adds garbage to the end of the initrd. These initrds will not work
