How to replace the tux (pengwin) at boot ?

Hi,
Im booting my version with splash and console=tty2
it works great hiding all the booting process and looks good.

however the picture of tux is still poping up while booting.
anyone knows how i can replace this pic with something else ?

(Its not the logo.16 as the logo pic is changing the logo at boot prompt).

thanks

Sorry for off topic, but can you please tell about how you manage to hide this kernel mesages during boot.

thanks

I added the arguments splash console=tty2

at the isolinux.cfg file,
this solved all the text issues,
however the tux symbol is still popping up and its not appropriate.

Tux (the Linux penguin) is appearing at bootup because it was compiled into the framebuffer portion of the kernel. To remove this you need to either boot into plain vga mode:
knoppix vga=normal
or you need to recompile the kernel with the logo removed.
This google search lead me to this and the comments here.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for the answers,

I was hoping there is a way to remove this logo without needing to recompile the kernel.

thanks

there is, just append vga=normal to the end of the lilo/grub boot.

but then I cant run Xwindows as regular ? i think.

I guess ill have to go on compiling the kernel anyway :?

Pretend I don't speaka da english. (bad word day)

X != Frame Buffer

X has more drivers than Frame Buffer

Only Frame Buffer needed for X on certain platforms.

Just one more question in which line did you add it? Should it be at the end of a config file or beginning? and syntaxis is it all in lower register?

thanks

goes inside the APPEND lines

I don't have an isolinux.cfg to look at right now, but for each boot choice theres like five lines. splash console=tty2 is the correct CaSeSeNsEtIvItY

yea, like doctor said.

you probably need to add it on the default line but if you dont know what is your default add it to each section.

but still you will have this ugly tux!
