-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I was trying to run this stuff called bootsplash. As in RedHat Fedora, which provides a decent and simple graphical boot at startup, I was trying something similar with Debian (Sarge) on kernel 2.6.3.
RedHat Fedora to provide simple graphical boot makes the X server start as soon as the init loads. In opposite bootsplash is a kernel + userspace stuff which provides a sleek/decent graphical boot without using the X server. Many of us have seen this while booting of LiveCD's like Morphix. Back to my problems, I have bootsplash working for me perfectly fine under "verbose" mode. If I try booting the "silent" mode using splash=silent at boot time, nothing happens silent. It's the same verbose mode boot. dmesg shows up an error message: bootsplash: scanning last 2MB of initrd for signature bootsplash 3.1.4-2004/02/19: looking for picture..... doesnot fit into framebuffer. (found1024x768, 20789 bytes, v3). Has anyone encountered similar errors, If so, please suggest me a solution/pointer. I'm also using udev on my new kernel. udev almost makes every thing work fine. Just I had to make some manual change to have the, /dev/fb0 entry in order to use fbtv and mplayer with -vo fbdev options. I just added the following into the /etc/udev/links.conf file: M fb0 c 29 0 Fine. The framebuffer device gets created perfectly. The problem is that it gets the user and groupownership of root with 600 permissions. Hence, I'm forced to chown it to root.users and chmod it to 660. Is there automated way. Please HELP.
