You don't have any splash information put in your grub.conf.
Change:
| Quote: |
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 rootflags=data=journal noapic panic="10" video=uvesafb:1280x1024-32:mtrr:3,ywrap console=tty1
|
To:
| Quote: |
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 rootflags=data=journal noapic panic="10" video=uvesafb:1280x1024-32:mtrr:3,ywrap splash=silent,theme:arch-glass console=tty1
|
Note the difference? 
I don't know whether arch-glass is the name of the theme you're using or just the rdimage filename you gave it in /boot/. If it is not the name of your theme then change "arch-glass".
If all that is properly set and you still don't get splash during kernel boot, try doing steps 4 and 5 of this guide. After i upgraded from gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r8 to *-2.6.23, i had to re-generate the initrd file to make my theme working again right from kernel boot

Nope...
There is a break in the line, because my yakuake window was to small
Thats not an error in the grub.conf
regen the initrd not solve my problem with the resolution...
You understand my problem?
No splash no resolution of 1280x1024
When i start my 2.6.22-r8 res and splash does work

Try changing the ':'-character, in your grub.conf between "1280x1024-32" and "mtrr", to a ','-character. In step 8 of spock's installation instructions and also on my laptop (also kernel 2.6.23), it's put that way and it works

Does fbsplash work during kernel boot or after kernel boot? Or is it not working at all?
To make the after-kernelboot part of fbsplash (fbcondecor) work, you must add /etc/init.d/fbcondecor to your boot runlevel.
| Code: | | rc-update add fbcondecor boot |
To make fbsplash during kernel boot work, i refer to my first post in this topic

2.6.22-r8: I start my pc and i see my silent splash and consoleimages (splashutils)
2.6.23: I start my pc and i see all kernel massages and boot massages until the udev part and then came the silentsplash without console images
i hope you understand my bad english ^^

Hi,
I have the same problem, i see the bootsplash after starting udev, not during the kernel boot:
Thats my grub.conf:
kernel /boot/bzImage-act root=/dev/hda2 noapic noisapnp quiet lpj=3236324 video=uvesafb:1024x768-24 splash=silent,theme:emergence,kdegraphics console=tty1
initrd = /boot/fbsplash-emergence-1024x768
Without kdegraphics its the same. |

Try removing the spaces in your "initrd = /boot/blah" part.
If that doesn't work, try re-emerging splashutils then re-generating the rd-image. See here (especially steps 4 and 5) for instructions.
root_tux_linux, you should try the same. Especially re-emerging splashutils and -after that- re-generating the rd-image.
For as far as i understand, you haven't tried that yet
Should none of this work for either one of you both, then i'm clueless

i re-merged splashutils and saw this message:
| Code: | * Please note that the 'fbsplash' kernel patch has now been renamed to
* 'fbcondecor'. Accordingly, the old 'splash' initscript is now called
* 'fbcondecor'. Make sure you update your system. See:
* http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/fbcondecor/#history
* for further info about the name changes.
|
hahaha... nice really funny... i search errors in /etc/conf.d/splash, grub.conf, kernel config and post here like an idiot and they change only the init script ^^
and now i know why fbsplash doesn't work
my old kernel <2.6.23 use FB SPLASH and not FB CON DECOR...
i build my kernel everytime with the same config and that was the mistake...
kernel was build without FB CON DECOR ^^

Hi,
The bootsplash is working now
But one problem reamains:
When I use the silent option, the fgconsole is stuck to tty16 ( or whatever I use in the silent_splash tty ), as long as I kill fbsplashd.static process. The gentoo theme shows 91 Percent and when I connect via ssh I see that a process want to change to console 1 ( chvt 1 ) but without succes, I also cannot change to any other console as long as fbsplashd.static is running.
Any ideas what I can do ? |

I may just be confused, but I tried all sorts of combined methods to get this working... nothing worked, so I am starting fresh from my old config file before 2.6.23.
Is there a step-by-step guide to changing from 2.6.22 w/ fbsplash to the 2.6.23 w/ fbcondecor?? I run a make oldconfig which I assume would clean out the fbsplash settings, and I am sure I should say Y for fbcondecor, but what else?? Spock's site has all sorts of stuff about the initramfs source file and klibc, but when I tried that, thats when I simply no longer saw ANY artwork. Before following that guide, I could see the artwork but only 3/4 of the way through the bootup process.
I dunno, I'm lost.

You must also emerge fbcondecor and add it's init.d script to either your boot or default runlevel (boot is preferred). It replaces splashutils

There is no fbcondecor to emerge, but I do have the init.d script in my boot level. It didn't work either in boot nor in default.
When it first changed over to fbcondecor, I did something that fixed my resolution, but then it would only show the artwork after udev.... then it dropped all of it, and it's been in low-res crap default boot mode ever since then. If anyone wants to walk me through it, message me, because it's making me feel really dumb.
When they first changed to fbsplash, I had JUST figured out the older method, and now as soon as I get fbsplash figured out without any problems whatsoever, they go and change it again. **grumble**
[EDIT] Well, I got the resolution to work better... but still no pretty artwork.  I guess not having huge text is better than nothing, eh? [/EDIT]

I have two machines with uvesafb that work fine, neither
has the init.d script for fbcondecor in rc-update. |

Hi there,
I still have some problems with all that after changing from Kernel 2.6.19 (beyond 2) to 2.6.23 (kamikaze5).
I configured everything like Spock told us to do, I've uvesafb running fine, but...
Some kernel stuff...
| Code: | bo.root( ~ ): uname -a
Linux bo 2.6.23-kamikaze5 #1 PREEMPT Tue Nov 20 23:37:40 CET 2007 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux |
| Code: | bo.root( ~ ): zgrep -i vesa /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_FB_UVESA=y
# CONFIG_FB_VESA is not set |
| Code: | bo.root( ~ ): zgrep -i initramfs /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="/usr/share/v86d/initramfs"
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_UID=0
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_GID=0 |
| Code: | bo.root( ~ ): zgrep -i connector /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_CONNECTOR=y |
Some software packages stuff...
| Code: | bo.root( ~ ): eix -I -c v86d
[I] sys-apps/v86d (0.1.2(): A daemon to run x86 code in an emulated environment. |
| Code: | bo.root( ~ ): eix -I -c splashutils
[I] media-gfx/splashutils (1.5.2.1(): Framebuffer splash utilities. |
... rebuilded klibc and all that...
From dmesg...
| Code: | bo.root( ~ ): dmesg | grep -i uvesafb
uvesafb: NVIDIA Corporation, G70 Board - p492n0 , Chip Rev , OEM: NVIDIA, VBE v3.0
uvesafb: protected mode interface info at c000:d030
uvesafb: pmi: set display start = c00cd066, set palette = c00cd0d0
uvesafb: pmi: ports = 3b4 3b5 3ba 3c0 3c1 3c4 3c5 3c6 3c7 3c8 3c9 3cc 3ce 3cf 3d0 3d1 3d2 3d3 3d4 3d5 3da
uvesafb: VBIOS/hardware doesn't support DDC transfers
uvesafb: no monitor limits have been set, default refresh rate will be used
uvesafb: scrolling: ywrap using protected mode interface, yres_virtual=2560
uvesafb: framebuffer at 0xd0000000, mapped to 0xf8880000, using 10240k, total 262144k |
From grub.conf...
| Code: | title Linux 2.6.23 (kamikaze5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/linux-2.6.23-kamikaze5 root=/dev/sda2 ro usbhid.mousepoll=2 video=uvesafb:1024x768-32,mtrr:3,ywrap splash=silent,fadein,theme:whoknows quiet console=tty1 rootflags=data=writeback
initrd (hd0,0)/whoknows-1024x768.initrd
boot |
Is that really needed for having uvesafb running with fbcondecor?
| Quote: | | Code: | angelus@gentoo64 ~ $ cat /boot/config | grep PROC_EVENT
CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT=y
CONFIG_PROC_EVENTS=y
angelus@gentoo64 ~ $ |
|
My problem now is, that if I enable any options needed for uvesafb, there won't be any option for activating fbcondecor in my Kernel configuration.
This is why
| Code: | bo.root( ~ ): emerge -av splashutils
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] media-gfx/splashutils-1.5.2.1 USE="gpm mng png truetype -hardened" 0 kB
...
* The kernel tree against which dev-libs/klibc was built was not patched
* with a compatible version of fbcondecor. Splashutils will be compiled
* without fbcondecor support (i.e. verbose mode will not work). |
So splashutils doesn't install /usr/sbin/fbcondecor_ctl and I don't have /dev/fbcondecor in place.
It seems to me that I mustn't activate uvesafb if I want to activate fbcondecor, but... Eh.
If I disable all uvesafb stuff I'll be able to activate an Kernel option for fbcondecor.
I have my resolution on the console (which needs to be fixed to something like 1600x1200) after udev on system startup with quiet mode, but I don't have console decorations after bootup (for sure, because there's no fbcondecor_ctl I think?), fbcondecor added to "default" runlevel and configured via /etc/conf.d/fbcondecor; anything I can imagine and I read about seems to be good...
What am I missing?, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
groover

I had the same trouble, searched here for a solution and found this.
So I removed klibc and installed v1.5, now I get the splash just fine. Hope this helps.
However, I still cannot get my console images working. Been playing with this for almost 16 hours, talk about a wasted weekend. |

It seems to me that I mustn't activate uvesafb if I want to activate fbcondecor, but... Eh.
If I disable all uvesafb stuff I'll be able to activate an Kernel option for fbcondecor.
I have my resolution on the console (which needs to be fixed to something like 1600x1200) after udev on system startup with quiet mode, but I don't have console decorations after bootup (for sure, because there's no fbcondecor_ctl I think?), fbcondecor added to "default" runlevel and configured via /etc/conf.d/fbcondecor; anything I can imagine and I read about seems to be good...
What am I missing?, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,

I had the same trouble, searched here for a solution and found this.
So I removed klibc and installed v1.5, now I get the splash just fine. Hope this helps.
However, I still cannot get my console images working. Been playing with this for almost 16 hours, talk about a wasted weekend. |
Did you compile the kernel with this set??
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
Console display driver support --->
[*] Support for the Framebuffer Console Decorations |
I overlooked it when I recompiled. |

I have the same problems as root_tux_linux: after upgrading from 2.6.22 to 2.6.23 my boot screen resolution was much lower and the background image was missing.
I could fix the resolution by installing uvesafb but the background image is still missing. I added fbcondecor to default and boot run level but nothing changed.
root_tux_linux: you seem to have found a solution, please tell us what you did to solve the problem.
Thanks! |

Ok I found the problem and fixed it:
CONFIG_FB_CON_DECOR was not set in the kernel config.
| Code: | | CONFIG_FB_CON_DECOR=y |
fixed it |

Hello, I have got the same problem (low resolution and no framebuffer) since I updated to 2.6.23-r3.
When booting, I got this message :
| Code: | Setting framebuffer console image ...
Can't open cfg file /etc/splash/appletux/640x480.cfg.
No 8bpp silent picture specified in the theme.
No 8bpp verbose picture specified in the theme.
Failed to set background image on tty1 |
Of course there is no "/etc/splash/appletux/640x480.cfg" as I want to use a 1280x800 resolution as I set it in grub.conf :
| Code: | title Gentoo 2.6.23-r3
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.23-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/sda7 splash=verbose,theme:appletux video=uvesafb:ywrap,mtrr:3,1280x800-32@70 libata.atapi_enabled=1 |
Setting the right resolution should solve my problem.
So I am wondering where it gets this information of a 640x480 resolution from.
I remember there was this line in previous kernels :
| Code: | | CONFIG_FB_VESA_DEFAULT_MODE="1280x800@60" |
but it is missing from 2.6.23-r3.
Any idea ?
[EDIT] As a temporary solution, changing video=uvesafb:ywrap,mtrr:3,1280x800-32@70 by video=uvesafb:ywrap,mtrr:3,1024x768-32@70 fixed it [EDIT]
