Hey all, me here again. I have followed various tutorials on getting 'grub like suse' working on my computer (dual booted with windows xp and ubuntu 8.10 32 bit)

And now, I think I am close to finishing, because after SEVERAL attempts in reinstalling grub (using different versions of gfxboot) i have finally managed to get it working, not fully, but to the extent that it can load everything except the actual message file.

basically, the problem is that grub won't load the message file, instead, it comes up with 'error: invalid file format' and continues to load the dull, boring grub boot loader.

I have tried various themes to try and get it working but alas, no avail. can someone please help me, or even point me in the right direction to get this working properly.
