Post subject:  Can I remove bootsplash?

I tried to install bootsplash on my frontend connected to my HDTV. When I boot up now it says that the video mode is not supported due to an undefined mode number and times out for 30 seconds (or until you hit space). I would like to either fix this issue, or just uninstall bootsplash (waiting an extra 30 seconds to boot is lame...). Any suggestio

(this is on R5D1. Oddly enough my other frontend with the same video card and same version of KM can run bootsplash just fine. It's not connected to an HDTV though).

(Disclaimer: I have never used bootsplash, and therefore have never tried to enable/disable it!)

Should be able to disable it with apt-get remove usplash, or take a look in this thread (about 1/2 down) for more:

Okay, I solved my own problem by looking at /usr/local/bin/add_bootsplash.sh and seeing what it actually does. It was easy to undo what was done. I changed vga=788 to vga=normal, run lilo -v and I replaced /boot/initrd.gz with /boot/initrd.gz.orig

In the interest of filling in leftout information...
The file /etc/lilo.conf is where you need to change the line "vga=788" to "vga=normal". Then, when back at the command prompt type:
Code:
# lilo -v
# mv /boot/initrd.gz.orig /boot/initrd.gz
# reboot
