The new splash image is now up at http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/, it's the top image in the main body of the page. Here's the kernel that displays that splash image, and that should be far more stable: http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/lemote/gnewsense/pool/linux-image-2.6.32.3-libre-lemote_1lxo_mipsel.deb If you configure it like this in /boot/boot.cfg, it will boot up fast and the logo will remain for a while. With an initrd, it gets quickly overridden. title gNewSense metad - 32.3 - hda1 - resume kernel (wd0,0)/boot/vmlinux-2.6.32.3-libre-lemote args console=tty no_auto_cmd root=/dev/hda1 resume=/dev/hda5 Make sure the device name after root= is a device the kernel recognizes, rather than something like a LABEL= or a UUID= specification, and that the filesystem is ext3 or ext4, the two built-in filesystem drivers. Other filesystem types would require an initrd. I'm now running a 2.6.31.11-libre2 build, and then 2.6.27.43-libre3, but I'm not sure the latter will be published. I'm trying to build ec and rtl8187B into it, but I'm not having much luck getting it to work. Because earlier builds were missing the assembler flags that avoid CPU lock-ups, I have removed them. The patches that can be used to duplicate each of those builds are available from the SVN repository: http://fsfla.org/svn/fsfla/software/linux-libre/lemote/gnewsense/tags/ -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter http://FSFLA.org/~lxoliva/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Be Free! -- http://FSFLA.org/ FSF Latin America board member Free Software Evangelist Red Hat Brazil Compiler Engineer _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list gNewSense-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
