MarcosPauloBR · 02-08-2011, 09:31 AM

Hi people!

I don't know if i'm doing anything wrong but, to change the bootsplash picture its just change the slack.bmp in lilo.conf and reboot?

This isn't work for me...

Sorry if this question it's so noob...

Thanks!

Try

Code:

lilo -E your_custom_bmp_file.bmp

If you want a real bootsplash (with a nice high color screen and a progress bar) besides of just the LILO screen, read this:

http://x-softsi.com.br/site/?p=26

It's a Brazilian site, so I guess you will be perfectly able to read it

That site contains patches for the kernel level Bootsplash implementation.

Hope you find it useful!

Hi people!

I verified that only one type of bmp image can be choosed!

Perceptor: The command lilo -E can works, but only with the default slack.bmp
When I tried if one others imagem, i receive this message:
Editing contents of bitmap file: /boot/storm.bmp
Fatal: Not a bitmap file '/boot/storm.bmp'
Its strange, because i downloaded some images from google in bmp format...
Only one picture give me a different message:
Editing contents of bitmap file: /boot/linux.bmp
Fatal: Unsupported bitmap file '/boot/linux.bmp' (24 bit color)
I think I need to study a little os image formats....

folkenfanel: Thank you so much for this link!
I will read as soon!

Thank you guys!

Some nice tips here:

There was another very fine link, but I lost it.
