If you <tt>dist-upgrade</tt> from [Ubuntu] 5.04 (Hoary) rather than installing 5.10, you might not get the new graphical splash screen during boot. This can be caused by the order that packages are upgraded -- the <tt>usplash</tt> package is needed before installing and setting up the LinuxKernel image. [Ubuntu]'s [Kernel] uses an InitialRamDisk, and this needs to be recreated ''after'' <tt>usplash</tt> is installed. Anyway, the following command will do what you need:
<verbatim>
-dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.12
-9-386
+dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname
-r`
</verbatim>
-An [amd64] setup would probably look something like:
-
-<verbatim>
-dpkg
-reconfigure linux-image-2
.6.12-9-amd64-generic
-
</verbatim
>
+(`uname
-r` will substitute in the current kernel release
. Those are backquotes, the key under
<esc
>, not ordinary single quotes.)
That recreates the <tt>/boot/initrd.img-...</tt> file to use the splash image.
