I totally agree with you, it's a worse problem. Maybe the bootsplash image should be checked for availability *and* readability, because with bug #143879 I currently run into the same result. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 112330 *** It's not *really* a dup, just very closely related. I want to leave it open for now. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Description of problem: If splashimage points to a missing file, it would be better if grub defaulted to a text mode, however the screen is blank and you're left wondering what to do. Not even a warning message that the splash image can't be found appears. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub-0.95-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit /etc/grub.conf so that splash image points to a non existant hard drive partition, e.g. splashimage=(hd0,9)/grub/splash.xpm.gz 2. reboot 3. Actual Results: You probably get a blank screen, at best you get a garbled display Expected Results: A text mode default and an error message that splashimage can't be found. Additional info:
