I managed to make bootsplash run from the i386 packages available on http://www.bootsplash.de/files/debian/. I am not sure that my installation is very clean, but it works.
* I patched and recompiled my kernel * I first downloaded the theme I wanted: bootsplash-theme-debblue_0.5-5_all.deb * then I opened the .deb to remove the dependency on the bootsplash package (there is a proble of circular dependency) and repacked it dpkg-deb -x bootsplash-theme-debblue_0.5-5_all.deb tmp dpkg-deb -e bootsplash-theme-debblue_0.5-5_all.deb tmp/DEBIAN vim tmp/DEBIAN/control fakeroot dpkg-deb -b tmp # dpkg -i tmp.deb * then I downloaded bootsplash_3.1-9_i386.deb and installed with dpkg # dpkg -i --force-architecture bootsplash * To make the progression bar work, it was more difficult, since the package sysv-rc-bootsplash furnishing the patches for rc and rc.S are not adapted to the scripts present in /etc/init.d I unpacked this package and by looking at the paches, I tried to modify myself the script /etc/init.d/rc I attach my script. If you can do better, please tell me.
