"bitmap_load="NO" bitmap_name="/boot/splash.pcx" splash_pcx_load="NO" I was looking at the splash(4) stuff myself last week, and I seemed to recall it expected a '.bmp' file, by default. I note this is described (see above) as a type '.pcx' file, and further, that you seem to have 'splash_pcx_load' set to 'NO'. Could this inconsistency be the cause of problems? -- richard lewiz wrote: > Hi, > > This might seem a bit of a silly question to be asking.
