 |
|
I am having trouble getting the bootup sequence to show a graphical splash screen. I have generated a initrd file with:
# splash_geninitramfs livecd-2007.0 -r 1024x768 -g /boot/fbsplash-livecd-2007.0-1024x768 -v
...and I have put this line in the grub.conf:
initrd /boot/fbsplash-livecd-2007.0-1024x768
...but no splash screen happens at boot. What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE: at boot I get the following error at boot:
unknown option "theme:livecd-2007.0"
can not open config file: /etc/splash/default/1024x768.cfg

might be a typo but i have to ask
/boot/fbsplash-livecd-2007.0-1024x768
does not = /boot/fbslash-livecd-2007.0-1024x768
need to add a "p" in there if its not a typo

No, unfortunately it is just a typo in the post. I just fixed it, thanks!

That 'unknown option "theme:livecd-2007.0"' means something is wrong with the options you pass to the kernel.
What's you kernel line in grub?

Here is the grub conf line:
kernel /boot/kerenel-2.6.22-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/hda3 splash=silent, theme:livecd-2007.0 video=vesafb:1024x768-32@60,mtrr,ywrap quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1

There shouldn't be a space in the splash options. You have a space between "silent," and the "theme" part (or was that a typo?).

| I personally think it is strange that there is a : instead of = after theme |

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Other Things Gentoo.
Not about getting gentoo installed, so moved here.
