Grub - Boot Loader

lilo user for years now

Only used Grub. Actually I did use Lilo for a week but hated the distro it can with so out went Lilo with it.

Perhaps I should of been more clear in my post as well. To reinstate my opinion on Lilo as only a possible issue with the particular distro that I was running, is what caused my over zealous malcontent for Lilo.

Much apologies to those who live and love the little guy.

hi,
my grub with menu.1st:
-------------------------------------
configfile (hd0,0)/grub/menu.1st
#gfxmenu (hd0,0)/message
#color white/blue black/light-gray
default 0
timeout 8

title linux.jane
root (hd0,5)
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz.jane root=/dev/hda6 resume=/dev/hda3 splash=silent desktop PROFILE=jane
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd
title linux.orion
root (hd0,5)
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz.orion root=/dev/hda6 PROFILE=orion
--------------------------------

installed with grub <<EOF
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
EOF
won't enter the menu. it enters a command mode instaed. what's wrong here ?

I'm not sure if this is the right place -- but whatever options I add to GRUB I can't get the splash screen to work again -- It's a really minor problem but it would be nice to have the splash screen again.

I'm running at Level 3 as I prefer always to start X manually. ( SUSE 9.1 PRO)

Thanks

I had the same problem. I change Boot Loader to LILO in YaST and again changed back to GRUB. And bootsplash was back

I don't know what makes splash screen missing, and understand this is not the right kind of problem solving. Somebody else can point proper answer.

Again lost Bootsplash, what is the glitch?

here is my menu.lst >>

I'm not sure if this is write but right here

it show splash=silent. I think this has to be changed.

I think, that is the way I need, "silent" option suppress all kernel messages and shows a progress bar boot screen. "verbose" shows kernel messages but in a suse boot screen. "native" option removes all boot screens and shows kernel messages same as in UNIX systems.

Anyway what I'm getting is "native" boot screen, UNIX like boot messages. No SuSE logo and no SuSE boot screen.

Hi,

Any1 know how to add a selection of the bootloader to boot from CD, just like how you can use the selection to choose the Floppy?

Cheers
