Remove or comment out any "splashimage" directives from the config file. *** Re grub2: as long as grub0 works, I really don't care if grub2 is better, cleaner, shinier, more modern or anything else. I don't need a freakin' whole OS to boot linux, and having a configuration that is so convoluted that it *has to* be generated by running a set of scripts makes no sense at all. I thought the days of m4 and sendmail.cf were over a long time ago... I am sure grub2 can be made to work, but for a piece of software as vital as a boot loader, that level of complexity in my opinion is totally unreasonable and impossible to justify. andrea
