Getting the silent=splash to work?

[BandiPat <magicpage91@earthlink.net>]

Ok, grub2 devs, I can't figure this out.  The splash screen that covers 
the scrolling text when booting up, no longer works!  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!

Here is a section from my grub.cfg:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
menuentry "Zenwalk 6.0 GNU/Linux" {
	set root=(hd0,1)
	search --fs-uuid --set 82d81803-e0a2-487d-9c83-ec6d8d35cf2a
	linux	/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro resume=/dev/sda4 splash=silent 
vga=794 (this is all one line, the email wrapped it)
	initrd	/boot/initrd.splash
}

The vga=794 seems to be working to give me the correct resolution, but 
with the scrolling text, not the silent splash.  Any help with this 
small anomaly would be greatly appreciated.  I am using svn2130, but 
this problem started after svn2031.

Thanks,
Pat
