I was a good cookie and went and tried my best. I did see some signs of success, however, they're not all complete... no pictures. The one sign of success was that the resolution was at [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is a good sign. However, I think that was more attributable to my recompile of the kernel, which I'm happy to say I'm reletively expert at now. I can make menuconfig and make && make install my way around now, so that's good news.

The instructions I took were pretty simple: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash#Non-genkernel_users Then I: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash#Non-genkernel_users and then I modified /boot/grub/menu.lst: localhost ~ # cat /boot/grub/menu.lst default 0 timeout 7 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Current Kernel root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 initrd /fbsplash <----------------------------------------------------there is the change title Old Kernel root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz.old root=/dev/hda3 title Failsafe root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5 However, there are no graphics. To correct this, I'm going to try and run through the list another time, however, if anyone sees something wrong, please tell me. Oh, and I know there's a descrepency between the names made by splash_geninitramfs... and what menu.lst points to. I created a more generically named file to facilitate easy switching between themes by just generating a new initramfs of the same name whenever I want. I thought I was being rather clever, personally... I couldn't do neat tricks like that in windows, so I'm really having fun! Thanks for any help! -- ========== GCv3.12 ========== GCS d-(++) s+: a?
