SuSe Linux: graphics file "(hd0,8)/boot/message" missing

Hi,

I have a X86 machine which I m dual booting with WinXP and SuSe Linux version 10.1.

Here's the output of uname command.

myhome@linux-fgtz:~> uname -a
Linux linux-fgtz 2.6.16.13-4-default #1 Wed May 3 04:53:23 UTC 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
myhome@linux-fgtz:~>

I use GRUB as the boot loader.

I made a modification to the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to make GRUB choose Windows OS by default while booting (changed the default value of 0 to 1 matching the order of OSes mentioned).

Things were working as intended for a while. After a few days, when I booted the machine, I got this message...

graphics file "(hd0,8)/boot/message" missing. Press a key to continue.

I haven't modified/deleted any other file other than /boot/grub/menu.lst. I don't know how this file got deleted!

As a corrective action, I copied a JPG file to /boot/message assuming that this is needed for the initial graphical screen/background that comes with GRUB. But, then I got this message..

(hd0,8)/boot/message wrong format. Press a key to continue.

Can some one point out the solution for this, (or give me the correct format of this file so that I can create it again)?

Thanks.
M
