I got a nice bootlogo I want to try and I can't seem to make it work.

I call the bootlogo.cmd from within cmdlines.txt , both files located inside same dir $oem$ ofcourse. The oemkrnl.exe is copied to system32 via the distribution folders, so that's not the problem, the file is there. My bootlogo.cmd is as follows:

CLS
@echo off
bootcfg /RAW "/Kernel=oemkrnl.exe" /A /ID 1
bootcfg /Timeout 0
EXIT

This should work very well, and as far as I can remember it worked fine back then when I used SP1. But now it's not working for some reason. To make sure my boot screen is ok I manualy edited the boot.ini and added /kernel=oemkrnl.exe to the line, and guess what ... it works. So I tracked down the problem to the bootlogo.cmd. Could someone please tell me what's going on here? And please don't tell me to rename it to ntoskrnl.exe and makecab it.

note: using nLite 1.0b6 with uxtheme patch also

Thanks for any help!

edit: I tested the commands on a clean nice boot.ini, and they work fine. But after removing read-only ! Maybe it's that ? it's readonly when setup tries to apply ?

edit2: it's not the read-only issue, bootcfg can write even if read only. **** I'm clueless now.

Maybe your using an Xp Sp1 file when your OS is Sp2. Sp2 overwrites these associated files

Nope, the file has the proper version as the regular ntoskrnl.exe, and I manualy tested and edited ( or just ran the bootlogo.cmd ), and it applies, but for some reason it doesn't apply when ran from cmdlines.txt

why u have placed the quote

mine look like this, and working perfectly

REM Change the kernel in boot.ini

bootcfg /RAW /A /Kernel=myui.exe /ID 1

bootcfg /timeout 0

cls

bootcfg /RAW "/Kernel=oemkrnl.exe" /A /ID 1

remove the quote, and place the /A infront of kernel=.....exe
