We installed hijack and uploaded loren's boot animation using jemplode with no problems.

That's not exactly what I meant. What I meant was...

1) The original kernel from the Cambridge guys has two animations, a Rio one and an Empeg one.

2) The latest Hijack, if you don't feed it a custom animation, will use a default animation in the kernel.

3) The default animation in Hijack is no longer the one from the Cambridge guys. (Well, actually it was from me, but they were the ones who compiled it into their kernel.)

4) Mark has replaced the kernel's original animation with Mike Schrag's custom animation in his current Hijack build.

5) So. Did Mark replace the Rio animation as well as the Empeg animation in his current kernel? Or do you only see his replacement default animation if the player uses the Empeg personality? What happens when you use the default animation and you have hijack installed and you have the player set to the Rio personality?
