In trying to get bootsplash to work, I find that the initrd it makes is
trying to find a file that is:

a) nonexistent
b) not even available...

Here is what I find:

[quote}
I found this in dmesg...

Quote:
bootsplash 3.1.3-2003/11/14: looking for picture..... silentjpeg size
21768 bytes, found (1024x768, 20089 bytes, v3).


But, there is no file called silentjpeg and sized 21768 bytes.

Here is the ls of that image directory:

silent-1600x1200.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10478 Jan 11 10:32
silent-800x600.jpg



And, why is it looking for 1024x768 when I specified vga=788 which is
800x600

And, I can only find:
