John D Thank you, John-- that is what I've been doing (which is a change from my original behaviour, which was to compile a separate initrd). Doing so did improve the situation in that using the livecd theme now allows the computer to boot (whereas the initrd using the silent splash would result in a kernel panic and halt). But I still get the message that 'no 8bpp pics are specified in the theme file' (twice) and then the message that the silent or verbose (whichever I've specified) image cannot be found, after which the system continues to boot. The console images are said to be being set (no message that they cannot be found), but (of course) do not appear. OK, more information, maybe... I think I might have found what's not working (but I don't know why its not working). I went back through the various links that explain how to do this, and found the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter from 18 April 2005 ( http://lwn.net/Articles/132803/ ). Now the Tips and Tricks section, titled Bootup with the Gentoo 2005.0 logo says (and I quote): Code Listing 5.3: | |Configure the| bootloader- | | |# nano -w /boot/grub/menu.lst| |First change your kernel-boot-line to something like this (depends on| |your used framebuffer and further kernel-parameters):| |kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.11-r6 root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | splash=silent,theme:livecd-2005.0 quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 | ===|You must use more than 8bpp (in this example it is 32, ===| ===|specified by [EMAIL PROTECTED]). This is supported by the fact that neither the 2005.0 or 2005.1 themes specify an 8bpp picture in their config files, and in fact do not even contain 8bpp files, afaics Now, splash_geninitfs does allow you to specify --no8bpp (which didn't work for me either), but from the GWN, that is not necessary anyway: | Code Listing 5.2: | |Creation of an initrd with the | 2005.0-splash-- --- | | |Be sure that /boot is mounted before you call the command| |# splash_geninitramfs -v -g /boot/splash-livecd-2005.0-1024x768 \| | -r 1024x768 livecd-2005.0 | As you see, --no8bpp is not specified, which you'd think meant that it's not needed (since the author knows that the theme doesn't contain a specification for 8bpp, and this instruction comes before the other one that deals with 8bpp at all). So why, when my grub.conf says kernel /vmlinuz ro quiet root=/dev/hda5 video=vesafb-tng:ywrap,mtrr,[EMAIL PROTECTED] splash=verbose,fadein,theme:livecd-2005.1 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 clearly specifying more than 8bpp as instructed, is the splash failing to load because no 8bpp picture is specified in the theme file (which if it had to be specified in the theme file, surely it would have been, but it's not, so presumably it doesn't have to be), and therefore fails to find the silent or verbose image? Logically, this must mean that my console is 8bpp??? That's the only reason that it would be looking for the 8bpp picture. Why is my console 8bpp, when the message is being displayed on a 1280x1024 framebuffer meaning that the framebuffer is loaded oh, shit. Shit, shit, shit Sorry. I think I got it. I have vesafb-tng specified in the kernel as so: [EMAIL PROTECTED] but it should be [EMAIL PROTECTED], shouldn't it? Or else the stupid framebuffer defaults to 8bpp or something, doesn't it? Just changed my kernel config, recompiling. I'll let you know how it goes. That really might be it. Damn, I feel stupid, but it's not like any of these bloody instructions remind you to set the %$#^*$% bit depth in your kernel vesafb-tng setting, either. Brb, Holy I feel that we are close to a solution here (I think the splash will work perfectly once it stops looking for an 8bpp picture; I also think that's why emergence works, because it has one already), but I am over my head here.

Thank you all very much for all your help; Uwe, won't be needing to send that tar.gz to you after all, but thanks for the offer.

The console images are said to be being set (no message that they cannot be found), but (of course) do not appear. I even uninstalled the theme, deleted the folder in /etc/splash and reinstalled (which surprisingly gave me a new tarball), but there was no change. I haven't yet rebuilt the kernel with the emergence theme instead to see if there's any difference, but that's next on the list, along with Uwe's suggestion to tar up /etc/splash and let him have a look at it. I'd think it's a script problem, but many (or even most) people have no problem with this theme, so I'd think it's something on my system, but I can't imagine what would be so unique to my system that this problem would show only for me wait a minute. I did notice one thing, however-- or rather two things that are related (so add up to one thing). Maybe the problem is /lib/splash/cache? This is mounted as a tmpfs, but not by /etc/fstab, and I can't get rid of it (unmount it). I think it's mounted because I was instructed to --bind it at some point in the very distant past, and while I noticed that it was mounted for 'no reason' (shouldn't it unmount when the system has finished booting, after all?), it gave no attributable problems (in terms of the system as a whole). But as an experiment during this effort to solve the stupid problem with the livecd theme (I hope you all see why I haven't attempted to solve it up to now; this is a lot of work for a really dumb issue), I tried setting the theme to 1024x768 instead of my traditional 1280x1024 (under the theory that maybe 1280x1024 was also somehow non-standard, like the 1280x800 the forums poster was using, but everything should support 1024x768). What happened was no change, but the message specifically said something about looking for 1280x1024.cfg... which wasn't right. So maybe some bad files are being cached somewhere, and that's why all of my changes have been ignored? How do I get rid of cachedir on /lib/splash/cache type tmpfs (rw)? Maybe then I won't have to clog up Uwe's email with a tar file (that I'd have to look up the commands to create anyway ;) ). Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Adapting your methodology-- because I don't use genkernel-- in combination with the wiki how-to, I compiled the initramfs into the kernel, and the kernel does boot with the livecd theme-- but the theme itself does not appear. This is an improvement, actually, as previously I would get a kernel panic with the silent theme selected. Now I just get the same message that I got previously with the verbose splash: no 8bb picture selected in config file (twice) could not find silent image.

The images cannot be found. I really don't know what else I can do, nor even what to file for a bug, as I have no clue what's wrong. I've looked in the forums (nothing), and the only partially relevant bug on b.g.o was marked invalid, being about a 'non-standard' resolution (1280x800), whereas my issue is with a standard resolution (1280x1024). I really don't want to bother Spock with this, since it seems to be a problem limited to me-- but honestly, what could it be?

Cd to /etc/splash. Create a subdirectory with the name of your theme. That's sysex in my case because that's the name of my company for which I have done it (just to squash any snide remarks before the come my way: It's SysEx rather than SySex). Inside that subdirectory, you create another one by the name images. 2. Use an existing images or create one with your favourite program for that. I used an existing one and edited with The Gimp. Actually, you need two matching ones, one for the silent screen, one for the verbose screen. The silent one is for the splash screen showing a progress bar and hiding all boot-up messages. The verbose one is for hitting F2 during the boot process and for the virtual text consoles. At this stage, you have to decide which resolution you can use with your video card. I only use 1024x758, so I skip all the other resolutions. If you want all of them (like in emergence you have to create them all but you don't need to. Resize the images in The Gimp to 1024x768 (or whatever resolution you want and can use) and save them as silent-1024x768.jpg and verbose-1024x768.jpg. Copy them over to /boot/grub/. 3.

That one seems to work. Don't like it :) The only problem with this one is that sometimes (!) it doesn't use the right resolution, but might be because I got it when 2005.0 was new? -- Naga -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] where's the splash?
the vga= line contradicts the video= line. Try dropping the vga= argument.

RE: [gentoo-user] where's the splash?
Joshua~ removing the vga= statement only makes the font size much larger on startup, but doesn't produce the splash. I also tried removing the video= but that doesn't do it, either. what else could I be missing? -Original Message- From: Joshua Armstrong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2005 9:28 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] where's the splash? the vga= line contradicts the video= line.
