HTH, Holly Okay. The method I used was by genkernel and the initramfs I'm using was to get the autodetection feature. If I change this don't lose that ability or does it matter? genkernel --menuconfig --gensplash=yourtheme --gensplash-res=1024x768 all or whatever resolution you want. You can use the initramfs as usual. Uwe Thanks for the suggestion. After reading Holly's suggestion I did more reading and found what you just posted. What seemed to mess my attempts up was that I had to delete the old initramfs before running the above command or I would just get the same results. Once that was sorted you everything was good. :-) -- DWW -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

At startup I get this (not word for word since showconsole won't play nicely): Using all the suggestions on this thread I was able to get gensplash up and running. I however have one small problem the bootsplash come up some 1/3 the way through the bootup process. Now I remember seeing somewhere a change to a config file which would change when the bootsplash started.

[gentoo-user] what is wrong with script
I've been trying run this script on my gentoo laptop, but for some reason it

#!/bin/bash
if [ ${ACTION} = add ] [ -f ${DEVICE} ]
