I used to have fbsplash or bootsplash or whatever it's called these days
working back around 2.6.14 or earlier. Then it broke in 2.6.15 (as per wiki)
and I never built a new kernel till now with .17
This is on a Dell Inspiron 8200 notebook.
I'm following along here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash
And also looked here:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/troubleshooting.php
But basically nothing happens when I reboot. :-\
This works fine:
# splash_manager --theme=livecd-2006.1 --cmd=set --tty=1
And if I do this, it also works:
# splash_manager --theme=livecd-2006.0 --cmd=set --tty=12
Here are some relevant parts.
I don't use genkernel.
