[syslinux] bootsplash: splash=silent always boots as splash=verbose
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 displayed along with the kernel messages. I am unable to get it to boot to the splash screen without the kernel messages. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Thanks for the help. Here is my entry from isolinux.cfg label default kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img rw root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=123788 init=/bin/init ide=nodma ide=noraid pnpbios=off vga=788 splash=silent

[syslinux] bootsplash: splash=silent always boots as splash=verbose
After further investigation I found that the splash silent image resolution did not match the value passed with the vga= argument. The filename of the image was 800x600 but when opened in GIMP the actual resolution was 640x480 (doh!) Changing the resolution resolved the issue. Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for the help. -----Original Message----- From: syslinux-bounces at zytor.com [mailto:syslinux-bounces at zytor.com] On Behalf Of H.
