 Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2004 9:13 pm Post subject: MM-Sources Bootsplash |
 |
|
Hi everyone,
I just succesfully set up my computer with the latest mm-sources. I'm dying to get a bootsplash running on it. I've looked into the main bootsplash thread and haven't found much about using it with mm-sources. Can some one lead me through this one?
peace |

You have a few choices - you can apply the standard 2.6 bootsplash patch, or you can get love-sources (ebuilds at breakmygentoo.net) which is pretty much mm-sources but with a heck of a lot of patches, including bootsplash.
BTW, this post was answered thanks to the Unanswered post initiative

| The only bootsplash patch that I can find is the one for 2.6-test9 and that crashes. Is there a full love sources kernel, or do I have to patch something to get that. I just haven't had much luck patching the kernel lately. |

| Also, I had no luck finding the ebuild at break my gentoo. Can you link me directly to that? |

The latest love-sources ebuilds will usually be found on the forums here - look at Other Things Gentoo and you should see the threads for the various releases.

I've been adding the bootsplash patch to my mm-sources for a while now. Until just recently the test9 version would apply to later kernels, but not anymore. The patch needs to be patched now, and I found it in the bootsplash support thread in the OTG forum.
To make it easy, you can grab my copy of the patched patch here:
bootsplash-3.1.3-2.6.1.diff
This is the patched section, which begins on line 2723:
