Well, actually it did work-- it solved *half* the problem, which is an improvement. Now I'm wondering: 1) What command did you use to generate the splash initrd? Is it compiled into the kernel, or do you use an initrd line in grub.conf? If the latter, what does that line say? 2) Did you ever attempt to use 800x600? Maybe it's a cache issue, then. I didn't find out how to remove /lib/splash/cache from /etc/mtab (short of manually deleting it, which I didn't want to do), but I did manage to unmount it as root (umount cachedir), which (afaics) allowed it to be regenerated when I rebooted. Maybe that would help. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
