I have followed these steps to install gfxboot-grub but a strange is encountered,
whenever i uninstall grub and install gfxboot-grub instead the grub cannot read the stage1 in the root partition i am getting the following error
Quote:
sd@traction:/boot/grub$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda4
The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.

these are the steps:

GfxBoot ( Grub like suse )
Gfxboot makes grub look nicer but with the same features
In this howto you will install gfxboot and a suse theme for it, soon I'll make an ubuntu one
Ok, let's start
Download the grub-gfxboot.deb
And the message.suse
First remove your old grub
Code:
sudo apt-get remove grub
Then Install the gfxboot-grub
Code:
sudo dpkg -i grub-gfxboot_0.97-5_i386.deb
then we're going to move the message
Code:
sudo cp message.suse /boot/grub/ # the suse can be replaced by the one you downloaded
Then edit your menu.lst
Code:
sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst_backup
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
and make it use gfxboot
Code:
gfxmenu /boot/grub/message.suse # the suse can be replaced
Then do :
Code:
sudo grub
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hdx,y) # this will be the output
grub> root (hdx,y)
grub> setup (hdx)
-- Howto make you own theme --
Code:
mkdir /home/name/whatever
cpio -i < /boot/grub/message.suse # replace it by the name of you message
edit the pictures
sudo ls . |cpio -o > /boot/grub/message.new
Reboot and enjoy
