[Splashy-users] splashy shows shutdown screen but not the boot up screen

[Philip Rutkowski]

hi all!

i am running ubuntu 6.10 on amd 64 architecture. i compiled and 
installed splashy 0.2.1 just fine.

i have a problem with the boot up screen. when my computer shuts down or 
restarts, splashy does its thing. AND IT DOES IT WELL!!!

but then when it boots up, it doesn't run! i have no splash images 
whatsoever. it's only text! my guess is that grub doesn't know to launch 
splashy. does anyone have any ideas? something i could try?

i set /boot/grub/menu.lst to:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-11-generic root=/dev/hda1 ro splash vga=791 
quiet

thanks in advance!!!
