Pierre Baco Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Hi, everybody! Not really busy those days, (still waiting France Telecom to install my ADSL ), I've decided to change my lilo graphic-message on my 9.1 machine. I mean JUST the lilo page, not the bootsplash stuff (quite easy to modify). I found a Gimp script to tranform any image in a correct BMP format suitable for the lilo-bmp2mdk script, but I can't make this damn thing (lilo-bmp2mdk) to create a correct file. Once created (ex: lilo-bmp2mdk < myimage.bmp > message-graphic), copied in /boot and lilo re-run, when I reboot, lilo jumps into text mode,. Looks like the image has not the correct format. I used the defaults (take a look in lilo-bmp2mdk), tried mode 0x103 (for 800x600), tweaked lilo vga modes, and played with other parameters: nothing, even with a plain white graphic. Anybody here with a positive experience (and explanation) on lilo-bmp2mdk ? Not urgent. Merci quand même Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Baco Posted October 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 A: You're really a lazy guy. Stop boring us with your little cosmetic problems about lilo-bmp2mdk. B: Sorry, I won't do it again. You're right, I was lazy. I've spent a couple of hours studying/testing the script and now it works fine. A: And you want to keep it for yourself ? Tell us how you did it. B: I will. Give me the time to write a little "Tips&Tricks". A: Good boy. B: Thanks, I'm improving with age. Pierre PS A: I'm not schizoprenic. PS B: Yes, you are.
