[SOLVED] Disable bootsplash

Postby mackowiakp » Jun 26th, '13, 12:52

I want to tottaly disable bootsplash on my PC because it works as server. So I do not start X-session, I change in boot directives splash from silence to verbose. But during boot time, PC two times switch screen to graphic mode and show me default bootsplach. It covers me part of text information displayed by system during boot time. Is it possible to turn off any graphic during boot-time?

Assuming that you are using Grub and not Grub2: In menu.lst remove "splash xxxx" from the kernel options. (I believe that still works.) You may also want to comment the gfxmenu line to give you a boot menu without graphics.

THX. Removeing "splash xxxx" from menu.lst solved problem!
