Hi list,
I was planning to add the bootsplash.org bootsplash support into the
moblin kernel,
and was able to do all the steps manually and successfully.
Now I want to make all these automatically done by an rpm file,
and wonder a right way to do it.
I did the steps below:
1. put the bootsplash patch into the kernel source dir.
2. put the initramfs * containing the bootsplash data into the kernel
source dir.
3. edit the spec file to apply the patch and to hold the INITRD.BOOTSPLASH.
4. edit the kernel config file to support bootsplash.
5. build the rpm.
6. I get an bootsplash enabled kernel and an pre-made INITRD.BOOTSPLAH.
*7. I have to manually edit grub.conf to add an "initrd
/path/to/INITRD.BOOTSPLAH" line.*
8. done.
Here comes the question:
* how to force the kernel rpm to use my INITRD.BOOTSPLAH?
I tried adding "new-kernel-pkg --initrdfile=/path/to/INITRD.BOOTSPLASH
..." in %%kernel_variant_post section,
and it worked if I manually ran rpm -ivh my_kernel.rpm,
I got "initrd /path/to/INITRD.BOOTSPLASH" line in grub.conf.
But it failed while I was using mic2 to build a liveusb image:

* So, what is the correct way to force the kernel rpm to use my own
INITRD (and my kernel parameters)?
any info appreciated, thanks. :)

jiason
