Have a look at this HOWTO in the Gentoo Wiki.

Well ok but here is what i want :i have a theme in /etc/splash/gentoo and i want to use it instead of the default emergence.I edit ok the config file of the theme setup grub but still nothing.Here is my grub.conf
| Code: | title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.9-r1
root(hd0,1)
kernel /kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/sda7 splash=silent,theme:gentoo video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-16@75
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-gentoo-r1
|
I used genkernell to compile the kernell and then i do nothing to change or modify the initrd.I suppose i must add the new theme in the initrd but how?Or i am wrong?
Help please... |

| You also have to tell genkernel the theme to use (with the --gensplash option) when compiling the kernel so it gets placed into the initrd. |

I'm not sure what you mean.. but I use the gentoo theme as well and make my kernel like this:
| Code: | | genkernel all --gensplash=gentoo |
(Plus other options for mrproper, clean, menuconfig, save-config etc.)
Then I edit my grub.conf file to look like the one you give in your example. Reboot, and I have a splash with the gentoo theme. If I want a new splash, I just change the theme in the genkernel command (and so compile a new kernel + initrd), change my grub.conf and reboot..... |
