 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.
