I followed the instructions post here to create a bootsplash script, but when this script was executed, it automatically froze when setting frame buffer start the script.
I tried to delete "bootsplash = silent" as follow:

"kernel /boot/vmlinuz-splash ro root=/dev/hda5 video=vesa:1024x768@72 vga=0x317 initrd (hd0,4)/initrd.1024"

But it didn't work either.

linuxsir it is could be from your kernel config....in your kernel config just open those
Quote:
Code maturity level options --->
[*] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers
Processor type and features --->
[*] MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support
Block Devices ->
[*] Loopback device support
[*] RAM disk support
(4096) Default RAM disk size
[*] Initial RAM disk (initrd) support
Console Drivers ->
[*] VGA text console
[*] Video mode selection support
Console Drivers -> Frame-buffer support ->
[*] Support for frame buffer devices
[*] VESA VGA graphics console
[*] Use splash screen instead of boot logo

i mean in menuconfig and check if your kernel is patched :)

I have followed the aboved instruction, but it still can not work

the kernel setting is right.

my kernel is gentoo-2.4.20-r6

bootsplash version is 0.6-r14

and I have tried the initrd contianed in the gentoo 1.4 liveCd , it didn't work either.

the boot process stoped at runing /etc/runlevel/default/bootsplash
