 Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2005 2:12 pm Post subject: grub title |
 |
|
grub displays in menu mode at the first line something like the following:
| Code: | | GRUB version 0.5.96 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) |
i recently switcht from lilo, with lilo you can change this to everything you want.
my lilo.conf line doing this was: menu-title="such dir eins aus"
is it possible to change it to any other string i.e. in menu.lst?
i've found | Code: | | GNU GRUB version %s (%dK lower / %dK upper memory) |
somewhere in /sbin/grub.
seems to be a hardcoded thing... 
i've read the grub handbook and searched per google but found nothing (but the handbook doesnt mention splashimage, neither)
do i really have to hack the binary or sourcecode to change this bootloader-title?

doh, no message? there was an email in my mailbox telling me someone answered...!? deleted?
ok, if no one else is here, i can answer my self.
i've (hex)edited my stage2-file to present my own text:
original:
| Code: | 00017C60 0A 20 20 20 20 47 4E 55 20 47 52 55 42 20 20 76 . GNU GRUB v
00017C70 65 72 73 69 6F 6E 20 25 73 20 20 28 25 64 4B 20 ersion %s (%dK
00017C80 6C 6F 77 65 72 20 2F 20 25 64 4B 20 75 70 70 65 lower / %dK uppe
00017C90 72 20 6D 65 6D 6F 72 79 29 0A 0A 00 20 20 45 53 r memory)... ES |
now:
| Code: | 00017C60 0A 20 20 20 20 53 75 63 68 20 64 69 72 20 65 69 . Such dir ei

00017C80 65 69 6E 20 42 6F 6F 74 6C 6F 61 64 65 72 20 47 ein Bootloader G
00017C90 4E 55 20 47 52 55 42 20 20 0A 0A 00 20 20 45 53 NU GRUB ... ES |
no conventional way, but it's working
