I had the same dmesg. I had been following the instructions in the bootsplash howto, they worked fine on one machine, not on this one. I did some sleuthing and found that the command to create the images given in the howto seems out-of-date. The path has changed. I has to use: "/sbin/splash -s -f \ /etc/bootsplash/gentoo/config/bootsplash-1024x768.cfg > \ /boot/initrd-1024x768" to get mine to work. Of course, change the resolution to suit your taste. -- Bill Roberts -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
