 Posted: Tue Jun 25, 2002 4:07 pm Post subject: Grub questions |
 |
|
I recently unmasked and emerged grub 0.92. I have a few questions.
1. Why the hell it doesn't show the splashscreen? (I have it set up correctly like it was in grub 0.90)
2. How do I emerge it with realtek rtl8139 support for network booting and such kind of games?
Love :* :)

1. I don't know much about the splash screen someone else is going to have to help with that one.
2. it's not grub that supports your net card it the kernel make sure you have your kernel configed right. |

You might look at your menu.lst file to see if it links correctly to the splash you want displayed. There is a section on setting up Grub here:

I have that in my grub config file:
splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
As I had in the past. It's something wrong with grub 0.92.
moo quake3 # ls -l /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33856 06-25 08:38 /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
moo quake3 # umount /boot

Btw, the kernel haves to support it if you want to use it after booting the system. Another thing, the one i want to, is to use it for network booting, i mean, downloading the kernel with TFTP instead of from a disk and executing it. Grub does support that.
