Background image for booting.

Previously I used opensuse 11.0
After selecting openSuSE from grub, it show green coloured background. if I press “esc” it scrolls through boot messages.

Now I had upgraded from 11.0 to 11.2
The problem is when i select OS, it always scrolling through boot messages.
How to get a good image instead of this messages

Try this,

No SUSE logo - openSUSE Forums

unfortunately that was not worked for me .

That link suggested me to change the image …

splash=silent
or
edd=off

I already had splash=silent so I tried “edd”
It doesn’t work!

Did you upgrade from 11.0 to 11.2 ? It’s likely to cause trouble. Or did you do a clean install of 11.2 ?? Is the system running OK, apart from the bootsplash?

Please post output of commands below:


ls -l /etc/bootsplash/themes
cat /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash

raju@Raju:~> ls -l /etc/bootsplash/themes
total 4                                  
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2010-03-03 01:27 openSUSE
raju@Raju:~> cat /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash

Yes I upgraded from 11.0 to 11.2
Not a perfect upgrade.

because, it got sound problem. I even got problem with Amarok.

I solved them by debugging the error codes !
I can’t remember what I had installed !
But now every thing is right ! Every thing is working !
But I don’t like this text scrolling boot !

Waiting for your solution ! thank you !

That’s the risk of upgrading from other than previous version. 11.2 can be used to upgrade 11.1, it’s advized to no use to upgrade 11.0
Here’s the point: you’re likely having a mixture of packages and config files left from 11.0 and 11.2 ones. If I were you I’d do a clean 11.2 install, if not you may be shooting in the dark for a long time.
What can have happened is, that mkinitrd did not run properly on the upgraded install. You could try this and see if it changes matters:


su -c mkinitrd
(enter root password)

It should reconfigure the initrd, which might fix the bootsplash problem. Won’t cause any new at least.

I"ll try it.
Report you after the results.

raju@Raju:~> su -c mkinitrd

I got above message.

But again i am getting text mode booting !
