Is your boot set to use the frame buffer (vga=xxx) or something else? Mine works, and since I hate to have the boot process hidden behind a splash image I had splash=no set for quite some time. I was experimenting one day with the different boot-splash themes. I kept switching until I found one I thought the customer that box was for could live with, and when I tested it I enabled splash=verbose just for grins. It worked. That's two machines this worked for, this one and a delivered system. I have the same version of lilo as you. AFAIK there were no updates in that regard for 9.2 and I haven't re-cooked this box yet. No time.

You can also find this in /etc/bootsplash/current which is a link to the one you are using now. sh switch-themes -l will list available themes. sh switch-themes Mandrake is the pattern to use for switching. Mandrake is the one I have selected now, the blue "denim look" sort of thing but there are others. The themes are in; file:/usr/share/bootsplash/themes/ The scripts for manipulating them are in; file:/usr/share/bootsplash/scripts/ Knock yourself out. <g> If I were to reboot any more often than I absolutely have to I'd probably play with them more.
