Grub Splash screen is not showing

I downloaded a Grub splash screen and copied that to the /boot/grub directory, added the lines to the menu.lst file like this:

 

timeout 10
color black/cyan yellow/cyan
default 0
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/amd64.xpm.gz

 

But now I only get a black screen, nothing is showing up, I can press "Enter" and the system will load but how can I display the image?

 

:thanks:

 

Screen is attached, so maybe somebody can check if there is something wrong with it?

amd64.xpm.gz

Are you using the Mandriva64 OS or just the usual Mandriva 2005-LE.

The Mandriva2005-LE does support Grub splash.

I am using the usual 2005 and the Grub Splash package I am using is lineart.xpm.gz and not the one you mention and it has worked perfectly everytime I have installed it (4 other computers for friends and 4 or 5 times on my own machine) . Maybe you are using the wrong package.

 

I have enclosed the package I am using to save you chasing it.

 

Cheers. John.

I did something stupid I guess :oops:

 

I thought that I would need a newer version so I loaded the one from the cooker, that just stopped the system from loading, I needed to boot from the dvd and reinstall lilo.

 

I'll uninstall it now and give your idea a try aj.

 

Thanks

ROFL  :lol2:  I didn't even know there was support needed  :woops:

 

Ok, I just choose GRUB during the MDV 2005LE installation.

 

According to a few articles you did, but then again I couldn't verify when those articles were written (allegedly there was a time when splash images weren't supported?!?!).

 

Anyhow, my moneys on AJ's advice...

 

Cheers
