Hi!

As I want to have a bootsplash I followed these instructions: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash .

But I get no splash at boot and testing splash with
Code:
splash_manager --theme=livecd-2006.1 --cmd=set --tty=1

ends up in

Can't open /dev/fbsplash
Can't open /dev/fbsplash
FBIOSPLASH_SETSTATE failed, error code 9.


Any ideas?
