I did follow this guide a long time ago and again yesterday. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash When I use emergence as theme everything is working just like it is supposed to. But when I change to livecd-2005.1 or livecd-2006.0 (I think any theme that has activity instead of just a picture) I get this error during bootup: ============================================================= Booting 'Gentoo Linux'

I have had this problem for a long time. Obviously something is wrong with the initramfs. It was created by this command: # splash_geninitramfs -g /boot/fbsplash-livecd-2006.0-1400x1050 -r 1400x1050 -v livecd-2006.0 If while booted a type: # splash_manager --theme livecd-2006.0 -c set the splash theme is loaded successfully on tty1. Any ideas? -- Bo Andresen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
