Your mail get lost in my spam filter :( Really your soft is great and doesn't need an hack for me :)
> Is the verbose mode activated at a later time? I'm not sure i understand well , but yes it is activated when i press the F2 key. I have just added the following, root=/dev/md/d0p2 splash=silent,theme:livecd-2007.0 quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 at the command line. F2 is of course bidirectional. > Are you sure you have compiled splashutils with fbsplash-support enabled? > No alas, since my kernel is now "full modular" (even vtcon and fb). It works well. As soon as readeonfb and vtcon are loaded, the splash screen appears on the display (the one with the alt-F1 comment of course). I get even more "visible" memory for free than before. Also, i tried to activate fbsplash support in the kernel as well with a little hack in Kconfig (depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE && !FB_TILEBLITTING). With or without modules i couldn't compile the kernel. That's why i'm still using media-gfx/splashutils-1.3.1. For example, con2fb_map is not found by the "linker". Just a comment about how you built fbsplash. Why not include splash_helper code directly in a kernel module, instead to call /sbin/splash_helper ? > That could be either a bug in splashutils or a problem with how you're > building your initramfs image.

That means i need a simple file CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="/usr/src/initramfs-2.6.22-rc3.lst" to configure the initramfs filesystem and the init file calls switch_root from busybox to switch to the real root filesystem. The initramfs is directly in the "kernel" file. I didn't use /sbin/splash_util.static at all during the boot process. I wasn't able to implement it very well and got many freezes. I didn't find out what was going on :( Perhaps some problems with the pipe file !? If i get more time i will investigate it. Also, i just declared the following lines: [..] # init script file /init /usr/src/initramfs-2.6.22-rc3.skel/init 0755 0 0 file /etc/color-settings /usr/src/initramfs-2.6.22-rc3.skel/etc/color-settings 0755 0 0 file /etc/initrd.splash /usr/src/initramfs-2.6.22-rc3.skel/etc/initrd.splash 755 0 0 # splash screen dir /etc/splash 0755 0 0 dir /etc/splash/livecd-2007.0 0755 0 0 dir /etc/splash/livecd-2007.0/images 0755 0 0 file /sbin/splash_helper /sbin/splash_helper 755 0 0 #file /sbin/splash_util.static /sbin/splash_util.static 755 0 0 file /etc/splash/livecd-2007.0/Vera.ttf /etc/splash/livecd-2007.0/Vera.ttf 644 0 0 file /etc/splash/livecd-2007.0/1280x1024.cfg /etc/splash/livecd-2007.0/1280x1024.cfg 644 0 0 file /etc/splash/livecd-2007.0/images/background-1280x1024.png /etc/splash/livecd-2007.0/images/background-1280x1024.png 644 0 0 file /etc/splash/livecd-2007.0/images/overlay-1024.png /etc/splash/livecd-2007.0/images/overlay-1024.png 644 0 0 file /etc/splash/livecd-2007.0/images/verbose-1280x1024.png /etc/splash/livecd-2007.0/images/verbose-1280x1024.png 644 0 0 [..] initrd.splash is the file you find in splashutils With splashutils 1.3.1 everything is working well except the icons. Indeed, xdm icon appears every now and then and hides the other icons. Certainly, due to the fact 1.3.1 splashutils release doesn't support livecd-2007.0 . If you accept suggestions, i emit this one : It would be great if fbsplash could be loaded as a module and would accept vtcon and fb as modules too :) If you need more information about the messages returned by the kernel during compilation time, just let me know.
