Syslinux - Dec 2002 - isolinux 2.0 boot graphic display issue

Hi All,

Greetings from the Gentoo Linux developers :) We are using isolinux 2.0
for our LiveCD and have found a small cosmetic bug. It appears that on
some systems, our adorable boot graphic (see
http://cvs.gentoo.org/~drobbins/livecd.png) does not display properly.
Instead, we get a standard white-on-blue text display -- our text
displays fine, our F2 help menu works fine, etc. -- but no adorable
graphic.

Here is a link to this issue on our bug tracker:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12624

Any help appreciated. Please cc me personally in any replies (or
follow-up on our bugzilla if you have anything conclusive) as I am not
subscribed to this list. As always, we're happy to test stuff.

Best Regards,

--

It's almost certainly a bug in the VGA BIOS on this card (not 
initializing some of the color registers, or not allowing them to be 
changed.)

I have very little time to chase down a cosmetic problem with one 
particular video card.
