Hello I am trying to get fbsplash to work and am stuck. I have
followed the
directions on the gentoo-wiki site but still no luck. Im using vesafb
with a 2.6.12-r6 kernel. my grub.conf looks like this
title=Gentoo-2.6.12-r6-fbsplash
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage.new25 root=/dev/hda3
video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,[EMAIL PROTECTED] spla$
initrd (hd0,0)/fbsplash-gentoo-1024x768
make sure nano didnt cut your kernel line. The video= option should be on
the same line than the kernel one. It should look like:
title=Gentoo-2.6.12-r6-fbsplash
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage.new25 root=/dev/hda3
video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,[EMAIL PROTECTED] splash=... #(one line)
initrd (hd0,0)/fbsplash-gentoo-1024x768
This is very annoying, but while editing a line larger than the console,
nano cut it into two lines :( You have to check every time, go to the end
of the first part of the cuted line and press delete
charly
Um, is fbsplash-gentoo-1024x768 in the /boot directory? Is your root
filesystem /dev/hda1?
If the answer to both is yes, then the initrd line should say:
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/fbsplash-gentoo-1024x768

OK I have tried this as well and still no luck i just keep getting an
error about Cant open config file in /etc/splash/emergence or /gentoo
depending o which splash i use. There is more stuff about /dev/fb0
or /dev/fd0 i cant seem to find these messages in any of my log files
though.
Does your kernel configuration include both RAM disk and Initial RAM
disk support (under Device Drivers->Block Devices)? Both are required
for loading the initramfs through the initrd memory protocol.
