Yes it is a grub message, and no that's not what I want. My newly built vmlinuz and the old behave identically (show boot splash) My newly built initrd does not show the splash, the old does Many instances of googled howtos are WRONG: they say put a /sbin/usplash_write "TIMEOUT 120" into the initrd init file the working (as installed) initrd does NOT have one! ---------------------------------------------------- compare not working initrd files, with working ones ---------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/jamu/temp# for i in `find . -type f` > do > cmp $i ../tmp/$i > done ./conf/modules ../tmp/./conf/modules differ: byte 1, line 1 ./lib/modules/2.6.15-25-686/kernel/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.ko ../tmp/./lib/modules/2.6.15-25-686/kernel/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.ko differ: byte 39537, line 27 ./init ../tmp/./init differ: byte 1506, line 96 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/jamu/temp# ---------------------------------------------------- from the working initrd looking at the unworking one ---------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/jamu/tmp# for i in `find . -type f`; do cmp $i ../temp/$i; done ./conf/modules ../temp/./conf/modules differ: byte 1, line 1 ./lib/modules/2.6.15-25-686/kernel/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.ko ../temp/./lib/modules/2.6.15-25-686/kernel/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.ko differ: byte 39537, line 27 cmp: ../temp/./lib/modules/2.6.15-25-686/kernel/drivers/video/console/softcursor.ko: No such file or directory cmp: ../temp/./lib/modules/2.6.15-25-686/kernel/drivers/video/console/bitblit.ko: No such file or directory cmp: ../temp/./lib/modules/2.6.15-25-686/kernel/drivers/video/console/font.ko: No such file or directory cmp: ../temp/./lib/modules/2.6.15-25-686/kernel/drivers/video/console/tileblit.ko: No such file or directory cmp: ../temp/./lib/modules/2.6.15-25-686/kernel/drivers/video/console/fbcon.ko: No such file or directory cmp: ../temp/./lib/modules/2.6.15-25-686/kernel/security/commoncap.ko: No such file or directory cmp: ../temp/./lib/modules/2.6.15-25-686/initrd/vesafb.ko: No such file or directory cmp: ../temp/./lib/modules/2.6.15-25-686/initrd/capability.ko: No such file or directory ./init ../temp/./init differ: byte 1506, line 96 OK this is too technical for the list. The answer lies above. Frustrating that it's not documented! Oh the reason for all this: vmserver works. It does not work if apt-get'd. module vmnet not present for kernel 2.6.15-25-686 Thanks James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
