I do not know what Sigurd means with menu.lst as I do not know this file. In my /boot/grub there is a file named grub.conf (must be created by hand). My grub.conf looks like this: ------ default 0 timeout 10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=Heinos Gentoo Linux root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3 title=Windows XP Bootmanager root (hd1,0) chainloader +1 map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) -------- As you can see there is the link to the splash image (splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz) and also the link to the kernel which you typed manually (kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3). If creating the grub.conf does not help try lilo. A friend had the same problem (on a Sony VAIO) and only lilo got him out of trouble. TS> Also, I would like to install TS> kde3.1.
