 Posted: Thu Dec 09, 2004 7:08 pm Post subject: Boot Splash problems |
 |
|
I'm trying to get a boot splash screen like the livecd, but I'm having issues. There are a couple of *really* long threads about this, but they describe different methods of approach. I'm not really sure what's the most up-to-date and effective, so I was wondering if I could get some help. I'm using the 2.6.9 gentoo-dev-sources kernel, and I've enabled all of the obvious options in the kernel. At the moment, I have the vesa driver support set to vesafb as opposed to vesafb-tng. I'm getting the correct resolution and tux is showing up, but I'm not getting the splash image. Any thoughts? Here's my grub.conf file:
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 03
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.9-r6
root=(hd0,0)
kernel=(hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda3 vga=0x31A video=vesafb:1280x1024-32@60
initrd (hd0,0)/fbsplash-emergence-1280x1024 |

Turn off the logo in the kernel because for some reason tux and bootsplash don't like to coexist. And change your grub config to this
| Code: |
kernel=(hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda3 vga=0x31A video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr
initrd (hd0,0)/fbsplash-emergence-1280x1024

Make sure you have Processor Type and Features --> MTRR support set to yes in the kernel before you change your grub config. |

Great, thanks! I'll give it a try. Also I just came across this site:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash
Update: This site is exactly what I needed! Thanks for the help though.
