jrzycrim Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Well at least you know it's booting. The palette was moved in the SP2 kernel. It has to be modded differently than the older kernels. I'll see if I can dig up that thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrzycrim Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 You are going to have to use a Hex editor to edit the palette manually. I suppose the easiet method is to find the values for the palette in your old SP1 bootscreen with a hex editor and copy them to the proper location in the new kernel. Someone else may have a better suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrzycrim Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Alright. I'm on dialup so this will take a few minutes to download. Not sure how long it will take to edit these things properly...I do have a question, how were you able to use a boot screen from themeXP? As far as I knew, they only had modified ntoskrnl files, not any for multi-processor systems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
