Hello
I am trying to get fbsplash to work and am stuck. I have followed the
directions on the gentoo-wiki site but still no luck. Im using vesafb
with a 2.6.12-r6 kernel. my grub.conf looks like this
title=Gentoo-2.6.12-r6-fbsplash
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage.new25 root=/dev/hda3
video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,[EMAIL PROTECTED] spla$
initrd (hd0,0)/fbsplash-gentoo-1024x768
It tries to go to it but it just stays in text mode with no splash it
doesnt even go to 1024x768. I get this when booting
Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
splash=silent,theme:gentoo quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
Im not sure what that means though. Any ideas, thanks.
That means, afaik, that there is an error in the syntax of that specific
line, and you need to fix it, as GRUB can't figure out or even guess
what the heck you mean.
For reference, here's my kernel command line (splash does work for me):
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5
video=vesafb-tng:ywrap,mtrr,pmipal,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
splash=silent,theme:emergence quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
The (main) difference I see is that you have no bit depth specified in
your video= command, but perhaps vesafb doesn't need one. I also see
that I'm using pmipal and you aren't but since I don't even know what
that is anyway, I'll assume it's not important.
So what I'm wondering is-- you're asking for vesafb in the command line,
but is that actually the framebuffer that you've selected in the kernel
(in menuconfig, Device Drivers section =>Graphics support, what is the
actual name of the vesa framebuffer being built)?
Mine looks like
VESA VGA graphics support
VESA driver type (vesafb-tng) --->
Does it actually say 'vesafb' between your parentheses (as I believe
that vesafb-tng is the default if you enable VESA VGA graphics support)?
Also what version of splashutils, did you recently upgrade the kernel
from 2.6.11, and if so, did you re-generate the splash initrd (there's
an einfo to this effect in the recent splashutils ebuilds)?
HTH,
Holly
