I did this back before Storm released the 2.2.14 kernel source, so as
always, YMMV:
I believe that the splash screen is restricted to the *storm* kernel
sources, which end at the 2.2.14 release. If you want to include the
splash screen in the 2.3.?? release, you'll need to do a diff on the
2.2.14 and 2.3.?? source trees and patch the relevant code into the 2.3.??
source. To pinpoint the code in question, get the non-storm 2.2.14 kernel
source and do a diff on the non-storm 2.2.14 sources and the storm
2.2.14 sources.
So, after applying the patch, back up the current kernel and lilo
configuration, dd the kernel to a floppy for emergency purposes (as
always, eh?). Further, back up all of the modules that are in
/lib/modules/2.3.??
You're probably not starting from scratch here, as you're using the 2.3
kernel already. However, a copy of the default storm kernel configuration
file should be found in /boot, so you could copy it into the kernel source
directory (or if you do "make xconfig" or "make menuconfig" you can simply
load it in). Then, fix all the things that are lacking/broken/messed-up
in the 2.2 -> 2.3 transition.
You know the drill:
make xconfig
make dep
make bzImage
(with an optional -j -l8 if you have lots of memory and a dual cpu)
(with -j10 works good too)
make modules
(again, with an optional -j -l8)
make modules_install
make install (or make bzdisk)
Good luck.
On a related not: From what I recall, the lilo problem that you
encountered upon upgrade should be easily fixed by making a boot message
file.
You did all of us a favor by wiping out Corel, however. Thanks
