 |
|
I have installed Gentoo on VMWare machine created with VMWare Workstation 5.5.
I can't get gensplash working.
I get this error on boot.
| Code: | Can't open /dev/fb0 or /dev/fb/0
failed to configure resolution and icon positioning
Failed to load theme 'livecd-2007.0'. |
/dev/fb nodes are not there but I don't know why.

Because you have not enabled frame buffer in your kernel?

Try appending:
vga=791
to your kernel line in grub.conf (assuming that is you use grub)
I had the same problem for ages but this little bit of code fixed it for me. |
