Hi all i have problem with fbsplash and 2.6.15 kernel.Exactly i used 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 and after creating the initrd and booted my new kernel the splash image showed up after the swap initialized but not in the appropiate resolution i want (1024x768@80).Then i decided to go to the ~x86 version of gentoo-sources and i have tried 2.6.15-gentoo-r4 to 2.6.15-gentoo-r7(which i use now) and the splash image is working ok but the resolution not.Here is my grub.conf
Code:
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.15-r7
root (hd0,1)
kernel  /kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r7  root=/dev/sda3  gentoo=nodevfs video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,pmipal,1024x768-32@85 splash=silent,theme:livecd-2006.0 quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd  /initrd-2.6.15-gentoo-r7

Any ideas?

Have you read http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash.
Maybe you should try stable gentoo-sources?

the "video=" only applies to the vesa-tng framebuffer, and you are probably using the vesa framebuffer. so replace your "video=etc, etc..." statement with:
/boot/grub/grub.conf:
vga=0x317

and everything should work fine

initrd /initrd-2.6.15-gentoo-r7
Any ideas?

Have you generated initrd? See my
Code:
ls /boot | grep splash : fbspash-gentoo-1024x768
Why add such options as marked
See mine:
Code:
        title Gentoo 2.6.15-r1
                                 root (hd0,8)
           kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb9 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-16@85 splash=silent,theme:gentoo quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
            initrd /boot/fbsplash-gentoo-1024x768 

And it works:)!!
And at the end :
Quote:
I upgraded to kernel 2.6.12 or higher and the bootsplash doesn't show any more

This is what you get when you run emerge splashutils
Code: emerge splashutils

[...]
* If you upgrade your kernel from pre-2.6.12 to 2.6.12 or higher, please
* make sure that you remerge this package and rebuild your initrds. You
* can use the splash_geninitramfs script to do that.

* It is required that you add 'quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1' to your kernel
* command line parameters.
* After these modifications, the relevant part of the kernel command
* line might look like:
* splash=silent,fadein,theme:emergence quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
[...]

I generate my initrd with
Code:
splash_geninitramfs -g /boot/initrd-2.6.15-gentoo-r7 -v -r 1024x768 livecd-2006.0

Marked options i used them for a long period of time (especially gentoo=nodevfs, for pmipal i used it according the fbsplash howto from the greek forum).
Now my /etc/grub/grub.conf is :
Code:
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.15-r7
root (hd0,1)
kernel /kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/sda3 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-16@85 splash=silent,theme:livecd-2006.0 quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd  /initrd-2.6.15-gentoo-r7

My problem is that the splash image is no longer displaying at the entire screen and i have black spaces around it.Any ideas?

This is really strange:(
IS this your single entry in grub.conf? If you have more themes in grub.conf included try remove symlink from /etc/splash. And in /etc/conf.d/splash set prefered theme.

I seem to recall you need the
/boot/grub/grub.conf:
root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/sda3

section in grub.conf, when using gensplash

CloudBolt i think that the options you mention
Quote:
root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/sda3
are used when you use genkernel to build your kernel(if i am not wrong) and i don't use it
