[syslinux] bootsplash: splash=silent always boots as splash=verbose

[Ayvaz, James]

After further investigation I found that the splash silent image resolution did not match the value passed with the vga= argument.  The filename of the image was 800x600 but when opened in GIMP the actual resolution was 640x480 (doh!)  Changing the resolution resolved the issue.

Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for the help.

The only problem I am having is that when I attempt to use the "splash=silent" kernel parameter it always boots as though I had entered "splash=verbose".  By which I mean that the vga mode is correct, and the verbose graphics are displayed along with the kernel messages.  I am unable to get it to boot to the splash screen without the kernel messages.  Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?  Thanks for the help.

What does /proc/cmdline show after booting?

        -hpa
