Hi, All!

After some upgrades my grub show colour pixel mosaic instead of normal splash image. All fonts and menus are ok, I can select and boot linux or win.

grub.conf
default=1
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.29.1-70.fc11.x86_64)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.29.1-70.fc11.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/SysVolGroup-VolRoot rhgb quiet vga=0x376
initrd /initrd-2.6.29.1-70.fc11.x86_64.img
title Win
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

I can unpack splash.xpm from splash.xpm.gz without any problems. splash.xpm can be normally open by any pict viewer.

How to solve this problem?

After some updates situation is changed...

At this moment I get OS choice menus on black screen without any splash images. It's something a la MS-DOS 3.30 in late 80s :) Romantic...

It's readable. For those who really need a nice splash screen, you can make your own, and also, I think if you go through the archives of the testing list, some folks had solutions.

I'm sure they'll get back a nice splash screen for those who desire it in the near future.

for me it's fixed with today's update (kernel 2.6.29.1-102.fc11.i586)
