There's also a limit to the number of colors that can be used. Any 12 or 16 with defined color palate index at 0=black, 15=white (or vice-versa?).<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 2:56 PM, Michael B.

</div>Oh, and another thing, you'll need to make sure that there is an<br>
"insmod" line for the type of image format that is being used. If the<br>
image that you want to use is the same type as the existing one, all<br>
should be fine.<br>
<br>
After you update /etc/default/grub, don't forget to run the command to<br>
update GRUB's static configuration file:<br>
<br>
$ sudo update-grub<br>
<br>
So that the changes will take effect.<br>
<br>
Note that you should update /etc/default/grub, and<br>
not /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly, because every time a new kernel update<br>
is pulled, APT will automatically run the update-grub command, which<br>
means that if you make any changes in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, they will be<br>
lost at the next kernel upgrade.<br>
<br>
As an example, let's say that GRUB is setup for a 640x480 graphics mode<br>
(e.g., "GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480" in /etc/default/grub), and you want to use<br>
a PNG graphic located in /boot/splash.png. At the end<br>
of /etc/grub/default, you'll add the following lines (or if these lines<br>
exist you'll modify them as needed for what you want):<br>
<br>
GRUB_BACKGROUND="/boot/splash.png"<br>
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="png"<br>
<br>
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES is a space delimited variable, so if you want to<br>
load multiple modules that are not loaded in the standard configuration,<br>
you'll put them listed one by one, for example:<br>
<br>
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="png mdraid lvm"<br>
<br>
I don't have a complete list of what's loaded in the stock Ubuntu<br>
configuration at the moment, so some of those may never be necessary.<br>
At least in my case, I needed to create the variable with the png module<br>
so that I could use a PNG boot splash.<br>
