it's working now... once i understood what initrd images where and why i had to add the theme's to the kernel as well as Gentoo itself, i figured that the patch might've just not worked on 2.6.6-rc3 and come to think about that i remember having one little error during the patching process, wich obviously is the cause of it not working. That's why bootsplash wouldn't startup together with the kernel, but only few secs before X.
I have downgraded my kernel to 2.6.5 again (the one from kernel.org) and patched that one; it worked fine 
After that it just worked the way i wanted it to!
So hereby i second that the 2.6.5 patch won't work with 2.6.6-rc3 
And here is another screenshot, Gentoo looking like SuSE

OK I screwed up something. The GUI, or X, works fine but when I switch to a console, ctrl alt F1, the screen is screwed up bad. It looks like it is torn.
Somebody tell me what I did wrong. I rechecked my steps but no luck yet.
Need info, let me know. I'm using a 2.6 kernel. It is the one that is stable for me at least.
Edit: Hold that thought. Now the kernel won't boot. Hangs up after replaying journal. Still scratching head on that one. It did work once though, except for the problem above.

if i where you i'd compile a new one (same settings, assuming that you have a settings file saved somewhere)
i'm going to see if i can patch the recently (like yesterday or something) new stable kernel 2.6.6 with the 2.6.5 one

it's the only error i get when trying to patch 2.6.6, but it's enough to prevent bootsplash from working... maybe the topicstarter can do something with this information to make a patch for 2.6.6?

I did that several times, same crap. What is funny is, the only change is the changes for the bootsplash. Wonder if it was crapped during download or something.
I'll go practice rm -rf /usr/portage/distfiles/bootsplash something or other and start over from scratch. Maybe I upchuked something else too. <shruggs shoulders again>
Later

I've been having trouble getting my 2.6.6 kernel to boot as well. After exhaustive investigation I found that the MDA support in
Device Drivers >
Graphics Support >
Console Display Driver Support >
MDA Text Console <*>
was the cause of the problem. Unchecked that option and now my 2.6.6 kernel boots fine with bootsplash. |

i just can't get this to work :/ im running ck-sources 2.6.4, tried about everything but it doesn't work. No errors at boot but when i run cat /proc/splash it tells me that splash is OFF. It worked once though, but it seemed like the picture were too small for the resolution i used, but it was not. My grub conf looks like this:
| Code: | title=Gentoo Linux splash and fb
root (hd0,2)
kernel /kernel-2.6.4-ck root=/dev/hda6 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr vga=0x31A
initrd=/boot/initrd-1280x1024
|
And i don't have an /etc/conf.d/bootsplash.conf , just a bootsplash file. |

I'm running mm-sources-2.6.6-rc3. The 2.6.5 patch doesn't correctly apply to fbcon.c. But I *think* I was able to manually apply the patch. kernel's rebuilding now, and we'll find out soon enough.
**YES**
Ok, now I've finally got /proc/splash, but other issues, since I can't display anything, but the kernel patch seems to have worked. Here's the correct diff.
If someone would like to host this (topic-starter?) then pm me, and I'll e-mail it to you.
Only three "hunks" needed to be fixed-up from the 2.6.5 patch.
766-772 -> 813-824
1828-1846 -> 1924-1949
2279-2285 -> 2382-2390

is there any reason why the people from bootsplash.org don't release any patches for more recent kernels themselves

Me too or me two. I'm can't get the 2.6.5 one to boot. I copied the config over from a good bootable kernel and it still won't do right. I got 2.6.6 and it boots but no bootsplash yet.
Waiting.

Well, not quite perfect.. Gettings an "oops" during init, but after that, I can restart the service and it changes just fine. Not sure if this is a bootsplash problem, or one I introduced with my patch. Will look into it, since it IS in the code I had to manually merge.

bootsplash: status on console 5 changed to on
|
however, after that first problem on the first attempt at setting up vt0, it works fine, on vt0-5. Very impressive. Not a clean transition between X.org and an fb'd vt, a bit of "snow" in the x windows and text window as it transitions, but it all cleans up quickly.
Now to just get my themes sorted out so that I've got the same background continuously. |

|
|
There's now a 2.6.6 patch available on the original topic post. I've tried it and bootsplash works fine. However, I had to use the testing tree nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx to start X with 2.6.6. Leave 8k stack sizes in kernel options rather than choosing 4k.

Maybe I overlooked something important, I most likely did..but here it is.
I have a working bootsplash, and using genkernel, so there was a initrd-gentoo-r1 automatically made and placed in ./boot. So when I copied over the configs, replaced the symlink and edited the config, I copied over the initrd using the same file name. Luckly when I rebooted, or before I did all this, I made a backup of my genkernel initrd in my root directory, because It failed and I had to mount everything using livecd and replace the initrd. |

622c.zip's link is dead. Could you put it up somewhere again? I have a Dell Inspiron 600m with a Radeon 9000, and while 0x342 allows me to boot, I don't get a bootsplash image (says signature not found). Bootsplash works if I use 0x31A (1280x1024). That's why I want to use your trick to find the correct vga= value for me to run 1400x1050.
Thanks. |

I did exactly that but no bootsplash image was loaded (kernel booted fine, just no image). Works fine with vga=0x31A. |

Go here for the bootdisk:
http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm
and you want the one from the DOS-based image files.
I guess the guy just provides links to them. |

I'm so stupid. I forgot tor resize the image to 1400x1050. All is well now.  |

Hi, several people have reported the problem that the initrd image fails to load when they create a custom image -- but that the original default bootsplash works great.
That is the boat that I'm in.
Here's my grub.conf:
| Code: | # which listing to boot as default. 0 is the first, 1 is the second, etc.
default 0
#How many seconds to wait before the default listing is booted.
timeout 10
#Nice, fat splash-image to spice things up :)
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
### the following three configurations are the post fb kernels
## Kernel version updated form -fb-splash to -fb-splash2
# Yes Framebuffer, Yes Bootsplash, Gentoo Default Image
title=Gentoo Linux (Kernel 2.6.5) (+fb +splash)
root=(hd0,0)
kernel=(hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.5-fb-splash4 root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr vga=0x317 splash=verbose
initrd=/boot/oldinitrd-1024x768
# Yes Framebuffer, Yes Bootsplash, Custom Image
title=Gentoo Linux (Kernel 2.6.5) (+fb +splash) (custom)
root=(hd0,0)
kernel=(hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.5-fb-splash4 root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr vga=0x317 splash=verbose
initrd=/boot/initrd-1024x768
# Yes Framebuffer, No Bootsplash
title=Gentoo Linux (Kernel 2.6.5) (+fb -splash)
root=(hd0,0)
kernel=(hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.5-fb-splash4 root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr vga=0x317
# No Framebuffer, No Bootsplash
title=Gentoo Linux (Kernel 2.6.5) (-fb -splash)
root=(hd0,0)
kernel=(hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.5-fb-splash4 root=/dev/hda3

I'm pretty sure that I've followed all the intstructions right, and as I said, it works great with the default image. It is only when I try to use my own custom image that it fails (and fails silently, with no errors reported :/ ).
Thanks in advanced
Justin

No errors are reported in dmesg? I never saw that happening, I always had *something*.
Usually that there was no suitable image found. |
