RE: [gentoo-user] Need help with bootsplash not showing [solved]

2006-09-28 Thread Daevid Vincent 
Okay, I figured out why this wasn't working basicially. For whatever reason
my menu.1st file was no longer a symlink to grub.conf. therefore no matter
what changes I was making to grub.conf were not being read (duh). It was
just coincidence that all my kernels were working since they all pointed to
system.map and vmlinuz and other generic ones.

Also, another thing to note in case this helps someone is that I had to
remove the tty:12 part from the kernel line otherwise, there was no progress
bar on booting (only). It worked fine when shutting down for some strange
reason.

Oh yeah, one more thing, HOLY SHIT livecd-2006.1 is cool as hell! I freakin'
love the little icons and the right side progress bar and all that eye
candy!

[gentoo-user] Need help with bootsplash not showing

2006-09-27 Thread Daevid Vincent 
I used to have fbsplash or bootsplash or whatever it's called these days
working back around 2.6.14 or earlier. Then it broke in 2.6.15 (as per wiki)
and I never built a new kernel till now with .17

This is on a Dell Inspiron 8200 notebook.

I'm following along here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash
And also looked here:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/troubleshooting.php

But basically nothing happens when I reboot. :-\

This works fine:
# splash_manager --theme=livecd-2006.1 --cmd=set --tty=1

And if I do this, it also works:
# splash_manager --theme=livecd-2006.0 --cmd=set --tty=12

Here are some relevant parts.

I don't use genkernel.
