The following code can be used to convert a 256 color BMP to LSS format for use as a SYSLINUX/ISOLINUX/PXELINUX Splash screen. The bitmap must be LESS than 640 pixels wide (bug) and only uses the first 16 colors. CorelDraw and PhotoShop are good for re-palletizing and dithering.

Hi! First of all, sorry for my english. I have one problem. I'm creating a server to install PC's with PXE (dhcpd, tftp, nfs, etc...). And, at the syslinux moment, the image (splash.lss/logo.16/...) is not displayed, but the text into boot.msg works ok (colors and background ok). I copied files from Knoppix, Fedora and others... But it's the same: No image, but text and colors ok.

Hi all, I know I've done this in the past, but I can't seem to get it working today... I want to roll my own ISO and use custom splash.jpg. If I roll the ISO with the stock splash.jpg, it works. When I save my own 800x600 .jpg as splash.jpg though, I get a black screen. I made sure the permissions and ownership was the same. Is there a special way that the JPG has to be

Hi All, I am having trouble with pxelinux display file not calling the correct name to retrieve the graphic image. I guess the filename length is determained the first time ^X is used, and doesnt re-size the field name on next call. For example when cycling through F1 - F2 - F3 the f1 image displays fine, and its the longer name f2 & f3 just display the text and no image, output from

I need some help in determining how to have a color splash image display in place of the Linux scrolling-text during the boot-up process on an embedded Linux device using Syslinux. The kernel used is a stripped-down version of Linux (kernel 2.6.29), which has been custom configured. The distros used are Ubuntu Linux 10.04 (development platform) and X-Linux I'm very new at this and need some

I've begun tinkering with syslinux v3 and have uncovered an anomoly with the DISPLAY file when called by pxelinux.0. If I have: DISPLAY boot.msg With an "^Xsplash.lss\n" in the file boot.msg (exactly: 18 73 70 6C 61 73 68 2E 6C 73 73 0A) file, it will fail to load the rle image. And produce some goofy results in the tftpd log: Jun 5 06:27:06 pxe in.tftpd[24649]: RRQ from

Hi, I'm trying to make a splash screen for my own boot disk.I have already my own Logo in .lss but how can i make boot.msg? I put <Ctrl-X>myfile.lss but syslinux displays the text cause is text file how can i turn this file to display format with which programm. Sorry one more time but i didn't found anything on the net.

My syslinux.cfg: ========== FONT russian.psf DISPLAY help.msg F1 help.msg F2 boot.msg ... ========== File help.msg contents info on russian. File boot.msg contents some info and splash stuff. When booted I see info from help.msg, then I press F2 and some splash picture appears. But if I press F1 after that I can't read any, cause vga font affected or not loaded. (There is ASCII 25 symbol at

Hey, I just wanted to mention that the same problem still exists for me in version 3.09, altough the changelog mentions: Reduce the command line to 511 characters; 1023 caused memory overflows. Was this meant to be a solution for this problem, or does this entry of the changelog apply to another bug? thx, marco >Yesterday Curtis Doty said: > > > >>I've begun

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

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

Hi, After moving my CentOS 6 installation over to a new PC, the GRUB start-up screen looks a bit strange. On the old machine, the menu area and splash image would cover the entire screen, but now they occupy only a small rectangle in its centre. I think what happens is that the max resolution of the graphics card/monitor combo is enabled even at this early stage, but GRUB assumes a 640x480

Dear gentlemen, this is just a marginal quirk... I've been using a graphical logo at the pxelinux prompt in our LAN for many years. It's always been the same LSS16 picture, and it's always been working fine. I've been using pxelinux 3.53 until recently. Right now I'm in the process of introducing "UEFI netboot" into our LAN, and also the diskless boot into

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

Hi, Great job on isolinux. I am using it for a little side project of my own, and want to make my own splash screen. I have GIMP for windows, is there anything else I need? I assumt a lss file is a type of gif or png or something. Thank you, Josh Byington

Hello List Members, I decided to install C7 KDE on a workstation for a friend of mine. Works great, but the post-boot KDE splash screen (light blue and has 3 or more up ^ arrows that move from the lower center upwards) is a bit of a frustration for that person. I've determined that one can press the Escape key and move from that bluish splash to the login screen. (And at one point rolling the
