 Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2003 7:10 am Post subject: /proc/splash not found..? |
 |
|
Well, I know there are posts about this, but suffice to say I really don't have the patience to read through 158 (at current) posts about bootsplash.
I know others were having problems like this (I did read a few pages..)
But, does anyone know why /proc/splash isn't existing?
I'm just using vanilla-sources 2.4.20, everything is configured properly.. when I reboot (if it were working, say) with a correct grub.conf, it goes to load the bootsplash but then just stops in a scrambled mess at the bottom of my screen 
Anyways, any help is appreciated.. thx.

Your solution is in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=49036
Some users has said that by modifying theire grub.conf in some way the /proc/splash will be created.
Heres my grub.conf.

Pretty sure grub.conf is not related to /proc/splash at all. /proc/splash is getting created by the kernal. If it is not showing up, it is most likey something wrong with the kernel you compiled. |

Whew.
Well, I'm at work now..
I was up from around 4-12 doing this sh*t.
Turns out it was the User address space size that I read about somewhere.
Vanilla-Sources, funny enough, doesn't have this. :-\
So I installed pfeifer. But pfeifer was kernel panic'n me!
So I installed gentoo-sources. Same thing! D:
Then I, out of all the posts around, read one that said something like "emerge iptables after going to 2.4.20" .. it was like a one of a kind post, someone just tossed it in there, whoever you are :-p
So I did that.. and it's all working nice now.. but I don't think having no sleep and working 8hrs now was worth it ;o
Having problems with Xfree 4.3 now, and nvidia 4349.. but I'll sort that out. (upgraded xfree & nvidia, now xfree won't boot.. just black screen.. yes I've re-ran xf86config)
/6.
