Re: how to enable logo

["ankur maheshwari" <ankur_maheshwari@procsys.com>]

Hi Geert,

Thanks for the reply.

Finally I found my logo on screen, but there are lots of issues in there....

After booting linux, logo takes 10 (ten) minutes to come up on the console
(by that time it console remains blank).

Also console is showing multiple logos, running horizontally and vertically.

Any hint what is going wrong.

thanks
Ankur
