The facts:

I've got a frugal install on a HD, second partition = hda5 / (hd0,4). DSL 0.8.4. (i started out with a frugal install on a usb-stick and now i have copied the usb-stick to a fat16 formatted partition, sda1 = usb-pen is mounted rw in /cdrom)

I boot DSL with frugal which is in the bootsector of hda1 ./ (hd0,0).

Grub boots fine, i can boot windows XP (hda1) and DSL (hda5).

Only thing i still want is a splashimage, i found one which is especially made for grub (robin.xpm.gz).

To get the splashimage to work i modified my menu.lst (see below)

#
# /boot/grub/menu.lst - changed by PBE
#

# options

timeout=5
default=0
root (hd0,4)
splashimage /boot/grub/robin.xpm.gz
title Damn Small Linux (0.8.4)
kernel (hd0,4)/boot/isolinux/linux24 ramdisk_size=750000 init=/etc/init apm=power-off max_scsi_luns=6 dma vga=normal frugal quiet noeject
initrd (hd0,4)/boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz

title Windows XP pro
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

I also tried these combinations:

splashimage (hd0,4)/boot/grub/robin.xpm.gz
splashimage /cdrom/boot/grub/robin.xpm.gz

None of them work (no splashimage)

Any ideas?

A light just shone in my face....

Perhaps all i need to do is grub-install (again)....
