Booting With Low-res Console Output Like In Failsafe

#1 (**permalink**) 22-Apr-2008, 10:15

I've been messing around with yast->Bootloader and got this tiny little problem: booting openSuSe now results in verbose blackscreen console with output (as in Failsafe boot) instead of conventional splash green screen. The Kernel parameter line in GRUB says: 'resume=/dev/sdb1 splash=silent showopts'.

Any ideas how to enable back the green splash?

What does the vga= line say in menu.lst? Mine is vga=0x317 but there are others.
Also, you might try reinstalling Splash from Software Management. I had a problem with losing splash and by removing it and reinstalling it, it came back.

hmmm, what exactly is the package name, you say? 'splash'?

Are you sure there are no vga parameter in menu.lst for your kernel? If not, try MattB advice. The package name is 'bootsplash'.

Why don't you post grub?
