 Posted: Sat Sep 11, 2004 9:10 am Post subject: Bootsplash frustration |
 |
|
So i just upgraded my kernel to gentoo-dev-sources. I was following the bootsplash guide on this forum. On my previous kernel, I had it up and running fine.
I tried different kernels (gentoo-dev and vanilla), tried doing the bootsplash_patch or the manual patch on either of those kernels. For the life of me, I could not get "Bootsplash configuration" to show up? (Gentoo-dev is supposed to have it already in as it is). Moving ahead anyway, I compiled in all the other obvious stuff for framebuffer, emerged bootsplash, i have a /etc/bootsplash, the conf and the theme it points to is in there, i made the initrd and placed it in grub, it IS recognized at bootup. But yet I have no bootsplash or framebuffer with my "dangergirl". Observe:
/etc/init.d/bootsplash.conf

please help :(
thx in advance
# /etc/init.d/bootsplash.conf
# The name of the theme that should be used during
# startup/shutdown. You can also set this with
# the kernel parameter 'theme' (e.g. by addying
# 'theme=something' to your kernel parameters in
# the bootloader configuration file). The kernel
# parameter overrides BOOTSPLASH_THEME. If both
# variables are empty, 'default' is assumed.
BOOTSPLASH_THEME="DangerGirl"
# The numbers of ttys (seperated by space) which should
# get the splash (e.g. for tty 1-5: "0 1 2 3 4 5")
#
# If you want to have different splash images on the ttys
# then you have to link the configuration file of that
# image to your theme's config directory as
# vtsplash-X-Y.cfg, where X is the tty number and Y the
# resolution.
# Assumed, your current theme is /etc/bootsplash/gentoo/ and
# you want to have the splash image from /etc/bootsplash/Linux
# on console 2 (at 800x600), then you have to link as follows:
#
# ln -s /etc/bootsplash/Linux/config/bootsplash-800x600.cfg \
# /etc/bootsplash/gentoo/config/vtsplash-1-800x600.cfg
#
BOOTSPLASH_TTYS="0 1 2 3 4 5"
# Should the silent splash be stopped on errors? (yes/no) (default: no)
BOOTSPLASH_STOP_ON_ERROR="no"
# You can use a custom TrueType font to display the silent splash
# messages. The given font has to be put to /etc/bootsplash
BOOTSPLASH_FONT="luxisri.ttf"
# Here you can customize the messages displayed during boot/reboot/shutdown
PROGRESS_BOOT_MESSAGE="Booting the system... Press F2 for verbose mode"
PROGRESS_SHUTDOWN_MESSAGE="Shutting down the system... Press F2 for verbose mode"
PROGRESS_REBOOT_MESSAGE="Rebooting the system... Press F2 for verbose mode"

Best, D. |

At least gentoo-wiki

Note that in the above grub and lilo configuration examples the keyword 'vesafb' is applicable to 2.6.x kernels. For 2.4.x kernels it should be changed to 'vesa'.

Perhaps you should try vesafb? |
