initrd for fbsplash but tuxonice built-in - config problem

[szczerb]

If I let TuxOnIce load before initrd then hibernation works fine but for a while my fbsplash is not there during bootup. So I went to menuconfig and enabled the option that make TuxOnIce ignore the late system call and load after the initrd. Now my splash is great - all the way between grub and gdm, but TuxOnIce doesn't get loaded so I cannot resume from a hibernation (it just boots up and corrects file system errors ;/).

I found this:
http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_TuxOnIce#Initrd.2Finitramfs_with_TuxOnIce

But where should I put this:

what do you have in your initramfs? init from initramfs should make whatever is needed to make resume device accessible (decrypt or smth), then check /sys/power/tuxonice/image_exists and either echo 1 > /sys/power/tuxonice/do_resume or boot normally.

My initrd is generated with splash_geninitramfs. I have really no idea what's in it. All I need to boot is in the kernel - I have a few other non-critical modules that I just load later on (wifi, fuse and vbox driver), so I can just boot without the initrd and the lack of bootsplash is the only difference.

My problem is, how do I make use of the advice I linked to? I don't know where in the Gentoo init scripts this should be...I don't actually know anything about those scripts aswell ;]

you don't put that line anywhere on / everything that is run from / means that it is too late to resume. your only chance is doing that inside initramfs. it is also possible that there is just something wrong with tuxonice and fbsplash setup, rc8 is kinda buggy w.r.t splash things according to mailing lists. could you try with .26 and rc7? if all else fails you can also try creating init in initramfs with that single resume line.

I'm still a total noob when it comes to linux startup procedure...

That's what in my initrd:
