Dear All, I am getting bored with default grub sceen and I like to change the Default Grub Image to a new one. I think changing splash.xpm file /boot/grub/ to our new file will do. Is there any way to convert jpeg images to xpm images (or) suugest any site from which you could download xpm images.
Regards, Rajiv

Use the ImageMagick package:
convert -resize 640x480 -colors 14 input.jpg output.xpm

Dear Paul, Thanks. I have made a new XPM image and gzipped it , renamed it as splash.xpm.gz and put it in /boot/grub folder. Now I am getting a grub error. The system is rebooting repeatedly while loading grub. I tried to do this again by entering rescue mode. It gave grub:error-14 during the grub screen and hanged.
Regards, Rajiv

Is the splash image the only thing you changed?
The GRUB Splashimage HOWTO at http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/~mcgrof/grub-images/ says that you may need to re-run grub-install if you change the splash image with some older versions of grub if you have remapped hard drives with a device.map file.
Paul.
Dear Paul, I have done the following,
1. made a new file splash.xpm.gz 2. #grub-install /dev/hda 3. grub grub> root (hd0,2) grub> install /grub/stage1 (hd0) /grub/stage2 p /grub/menu.lst grub> quit
When I rebooted my system goes to the grub screen. Again I had to enter entering rescue mode to alter all changes to boot sucessfully.
I have attached my grub.conf for your reference.
Regards, Rajiv

So, does your new splash image appear properly?
Your /boot partition is /dev/hda3 and / is /dev/hda5?
Whe you're in grub, do all of the following commands return (hd0,2)?
find /grub/stage1 find /grub/stage2 find /grub/menu.lst
Does the command
configfile /grub/menu.lst
bring up your menu?
I have attached my grub.conf for your reference.

Curious. Your menu says "Red Hat Linux 9.0" but you appear to be booting a rather old Red Hat 8.0 kernel...
Paul.
It works fine without step-3 for the 1st image in the site mentioned by you. Thanks,
