Thanks again

[edit]
Forgot to mention : bootsplash (the new pclinuxos one, very nice, would like to have it back) disappeared from the moment I rebooted with new kernel.

Your menu.lst looks kinda weird to me...
Did you edit these entries to look like that:
Code: Select all
BOOT_IMAGE=PClinuxOS_Gnome_Zen2008.0mini
BOOT_IMAGE=PCLOSzen_kernel_2.6.26.8.tex3

Also, mem=1270M... did you add that ?

Hi Don,

Yes, edited myself, in order to recognize grub menu items, same for mem=1270 as only about 860mb was recognized and have two slots, one with 1024 and one with 256 so should in fact be mem=1280 :mrgreen:

You could edit your last entry like this:
Code: Select all
title zen-2.6.26.8.tex3
kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26.8.tex3 BOOT_IMAGE=zen-2.6.26.8.tex3 root=/dev/hda6 acpi=on resume=/dev/hda5 mem=1270M splash=silent vga=788
initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd-2.6.26.8.tex3.img

so that the Title matches the BOOT_IMAGE (I don't think that's the cause but...)
Also, open PCC > Boot and check your bootsplash options there.

Re: How to revert GRUB, bootsplash etc to initial settings

Hi all. I lost pclos-gnome-gfxboot-theme after:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh *.rpm' and reboot
for PCLOS gnome users.

I tried to set up the boot graphical theme of the system in Control Center but no success.
There is something like:
An error occurred while loading file:///usr/share/gfxboot/themes/current:
The file or folder /usr/share/gfxboot/themes/current does not exist.

I have installed the pclos-gnome-gfxboot-theme..

Can I get it back somehow?

thanx
sonic

If this is a upgrade you will have to do this twice after that it will work normal again.
pcc > Set up the boot graphical themes of the System > graphical boot mode "silent" Apply the theme

You will have to reboot and again in the pcc > Set up the boot graphical themes of the System > graphical boot mode "silent" Apply the theme again.
Then you should see the bootsplash for pclos-gnome.

Make sure it is set to "silent"
Try that and see if it comes up! 8)

grub-gfxmenu --update-theme
and this
grub-gfxmenu --update-gfxmenu

Try adding the kernel option "edd=off" at boot. It's a fix I found when using openSUSE. Apparently it removes some confusion related with external USB hard discs.
