Hi,
I have formatted and installed SUSE 9.1 several times and for some reason now instead of having the visually simpler SUSE splash screen it has that load of jargon about which processes have loaded and so on. I would much rather view the splash screen.

Does anyone know how i can get the splash screen to show instead of the boot status.

Thanks

You should be able to affect this in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file. The parameter to edit is the "splash= . . ." part. Below is a snippet of mine:

###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux###
title linux
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 acpi=off vga=791 desktop splash=native
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd

Notice I have selected "splash=native". This lets me see that verbose loading of all services and related settings. I am not sure of the parameter you would enter in place of my existing "native", but you should be able to toggle through all the options via the F2 key on the initial SuSE screen that allows you an approximate 10 seconds to select alternate boot options.

I hope this will be helpful.

Try "splash=silent" in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file.

Good luck,

thanks all. I will try these suggestions

that's strange. Splash is already on silent
