I double and triple checked that all the files in the correct paths, ran
Code:
/sbin/splash -s -f /etc/bootsplash/themes/current/config/bootsplash-1024x768.cfg > /boot/initrd-1024x768
added an entry in /etc/lilo.conf
Code:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux1024"
root=/dev/hdb5
initrd=/boot/initrd-1024x768
append="devfs=mount acpi=ht splash=silent"
vga=791
read-only
ran "lilo", rebooted using the linux1024 entry and still no graphic. It boots in framebuffer mode because I see the Mandrake star in the top left corner as it's loading stuff. Should I try grub?
