 Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2005 3:34 pm Post subject: fbsplash and ck-sources? |
 |
|
Is there anyway to use gensplash with ck-sources? I've been reading all over trying to understand this stuff and what I've gotten so far is that you need to patch your kernel with fbsplash support, but I can't seem to find anything concerning ck kernels and fbsplash.
Looking on the ck ftp site, it looks like ck sources 2.6.8.1-ck7 had an fbsplash patch in the patchset, but that's about all I can find.
Do you *have* to use gentoo-sources or something to get fbsplash, thus gensplash, support? I did see that spock (the developer that apparently created/maintains gensplash) has fbsplash patches on his site: http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/archive/, but will his 2.6.13 patch *just work* with a 2.6.13 ck kernel?
(PS: sorry if I'm not understanding this enough to post a *correct* question, but like I said, I can't really find a diffinitive answer to any of this). |

I am using the fbsplash patch with ck-sources-2.6.13_p5:
I used the fbsplash-0.9.2-r4-2.6.13-rc6.patch, after patching theres a part that fails but all you have to do is edit /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sysctl.h and add
Original | Code: | KERN_UNKNOWN_NMI_PANIC=66, /* int: unknown nmi panic flag */
KERN_BOOTLOADER_TYPE=67, /* int: boot loader type */
KERN_RANDOMIZE=68, /* int: randomize virtual address space */
KERN_SETUID_DUMPABLE=69, /* int: behaviour of dumps for setuid core */
KERN_SPIN_RETRY=70, /* int: number of spinlock retries */
KERN_INTERACTIVE=71, /* interactive tasks can have cpu bursts */
KERN_COMPUTE=72, /* adjust timeslices for a compute server */
}; |
Adding KERN_FBSPLASH line | Code: | KERN_UNKNOWN_NMI_PANIC=66, /* int: unknown nmi panic flag */
KERN_BOOTLOADER_TYPE=67, /* int: boot loader type */
KERN_RANDOMIZE=68, /* int: randomize virtual address space */
KERN_SETUID_DUMPABLE=69, /* int: behaviour of dumps for setuid core */
KERN_SPIN_RETRY=70, /* int: number of spinlock retries */
KERN_INTERACTIVE=71, /* interactive tasks can have cpu bursts */
KERN_COMPUTE=72, /* adjust timeslices for a compute server */
KERN_FBSPLASH=73, /* string: path to fbsplash helper */
}; |
