I've tried several different things, but have not run across a solution yet. What's the trick? Another user mentioned I should use linux16 rather than linux, but that gives me an error when I try it. Grub2 tells me I need to load a kernel first. I am running a 32-bit Linux on a 64-bit machine. When I tried to run the memory test, it gave me an error that I had to use linux16 for it, which indeed did work!If you want to use the old linux loader with linux16 then you need to use initrd16 too for the initrd.
========Thanks Felix, this fix does work. I guess I don't fully understand what is going on, but certainly some changes have occurred with the two, linux16 & linux. Will linux work again in the future or is that reserved for 64 bit or above? I mean linux works, but just blocks the splash screen. Is it a matter of the splash screen setup needing a change? See, I think I'm confusing things because I don't understand what's going on with all that.
Anyway thanks, Pat
