bootsplash screwed [solved]

I had bootsplash working, but I think I messed it.
Everything worked fine, but now when I boot my system, the resolution is ok but I have no splashimage anymore.
Until the booting process goes to "starting local" then the image appears.
I believe I dit it by upgrading bootsplash and with etc-update I replaced the old bootsplash.conf by new one;
If anyone has an idea how to correct this iwould be gratefull

It's most likely either your initrd or the kernel command line.

Did you change your grub.conf?

What is the kernel command line

I did change grub.conf, but the nly thing I did was adding an entry for my new gentoo-mm kernel for cat /proc/cmdline:

eddy@devilgentoo eddy $ cat /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/hdb7 hdd=ide-cd hdc=ide-cd video=mtrr,vesa:1024x768 vga=0x317 splash=verbose

When I shut down i see a message that there is a fault in/sbin/rc at line 528

this is a part of /sbin /rc:

517 ln -snf "/etc/init.d/${x}" "${svcdir}/softscripts.new/${x}"
518 done

519 dep_stop() {
520 local x=
521 local dep=
522 local needsme=
523 local myservice="${1##*/}"
524 local depservice=

525 if ! service_started "${myservice}"
526 then
527 return 0
528 fi
529
530 # Candidate for zapping
531 if [ ! -L "${svcdir}/softscripts.new/${myservice}" ]
532 then
533 # If this is a 'net' service, we do not want to stop it if it was
534 # not in the previous runlevel, and we are not shutting down,
535 # rebooting or going to single runlevel. This is because the user
536 # might have started it (net.ppp?), or possibly hotplug ...
537 if [ "${myservice%%.*}" = "net" -a \
538 "${myservice##*.}" != "${myservice}" ] && \
539 [ "${SOFTLEVEL}" != "reboot" -a \
540 "${SOFTLEVEL}" != "shutdown" -a \
541 "${SOFTLEVEL}" != "single" ]
542 then
543 if [ -n "${OLDSOFTLEVEL}" ] && \
544 ! in_runlevel "${myservice}" "${OLDSOFTLEVEL}"
545 then
546 # This service is not in the previous runlevel, so
547 # do not stop it ...
548 return 0
549 fi
550 fi

grub.conf look like this:

title=Gentoo 1.4 kernel_2.6.1 12januari2004
root(hd1,5)
kernel /bzImage_2.6.1 root=/dev/hdb7 hdd=ide-cd hdc=ide-cd video=mtrr,vesa:1$
initrd=/initrd-1024x768

and emerge base-layout didn't help, sorry

/sbin/splash -s -f /etc/bootsplash/default/config/bootsplash-1024x768.cfg > /boot/initrd-1024x768
solved the problems (after mounting boot first )

does your /sbin/rc still have errors after the baselayout re-emerge?
