I wanted to use a nice splashimage with grub instead of the standard boreing ansi colors... Soooo.. I created an image using info found via google and then used grubconf and checked the box enableing the use of a splash image and told it what image to use... When I rebooted, my system halted with a kernel panic and couldn't find /dev/console and that the init process was trying to be killed... YIKES.. So I booted my tustie rescue floppy, restored my original menu.lst file and rebooted without any problems... I know grub splashimage is used by only a few distros now and that Debian is one of them... So why the problem? I indexed the xpm image to a color palate of 14 colors and used a 640x480 image size.. I'm not sure what happened so if anyone can give me a clue I'd appreciate it.. TIA.. Mike .. Now, a little humor compliments of Linux Fortune... Give a small boy a hammer and he will find that everything he encounters needs pounding.
