Hi,

I believe there's a bug in bootsplash which is causing what you are seeing -
I came across this yesterday with a different framebuffer driver as it
happens!

Bootsplash calls fbgen_get_fix in order to determine the framebuffer size,
to see if the image you are trying to display will fit. However, it calls it
with the fb_info structure (I'm working from memory, so forget the exact
details, but it's the last parameter) passed in as zero. This appears to be
a Bootsplash bug, but some framebuffer drivers don't seem to mind.

Again - working from memory I can't remember the exact file, but it's in
drivers/video in the kernel I believe - I think it might be in
fbcon_splash.c. Do a search for 'get_fix' and you should find a call with 0
in it.

I haven't got around to finding the correct solution, but as a workaround I
commented out this paragraph  (but be careful to make sure the splash image
is the correct size as it is no longer checked). This fixed the problem for
me.

Hope this helps,

Colin
