the README file included in this patch (archive) is the best description which i've seen for lpp until now 
I think it should be possible to apply this patch to the standard gentoo sources (I've already done it for one time - but it doesn't fully worked) and also to alter the init scripts so that it also would work after the first 50%. But i think for this it would be better to wait until the final 1.4 version would get released (or to mail the responsible for the kernel if he don't wont to inlcude it as a standard feature). |

Hi
wpichler
I also foud this to be the most complete. I've found until now.
About your ideas I totally agree with you, I think we could propose something like a addon to the gentoo-sources like gentoo-sources-lpp  .
About the init scripts I think we can begin testing with the current 1.4RC_1 and after 1.4 Final is released make the necessary changes to have the full progress bar.
I'll try to make a image for a lpp-gentoo theme. I'll keep you informed.

hi
Yoannez and surly all others 
about the init scripts:
I've taken a short look into them, and i think it would be the best thing if we don't touch them directly. Each script uses the ebegin function to print out what it does. So we only have to rewrite the ebegin function so that it also puts this message to /proc/progress. For the percent values which we need i would suggest to put all the message which get's printed out into a file in which we also write the percent value. So the ebegin function only gets the text from the init scripts - open's the file with the text's and percent values - searches for the text which it got and reads the correspondending percent value. I will try to make this and than i will post it here. |

First step complete:
Getting the software running...
I managed to get the kernel patch to work, and have a minor change to the init scripts for a 100 percente progress bar
It works.
And it is very nice but whith a deb splash.
Well time to customize now

have you mangaged to get the patch running with gentoo-sources or with a standard kernel ? If it is for the gentoo sources, can you please add the patch it to bugzilla ? |

Yep

Just tell me howto do it and I would do it with pleasure.

in the mean time i have done gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r10 , and i have also created a new default logo (the picture taken from Gentoo-Logos: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/images/powered-big.png - now i am also working on the patch. To create it use something like "diff -Urn original-source-directory modified-source-directory" . But before you can do that make a mrproper - but save your .config before you do the make mrproper. |

The patch appears to be gzipped, you need to save and "gunzip" it.

Ugh, the patch is about 10M. Do you really want that? |

I see you've put the list of percentages in /etc/init.d/lpp, as opposed to something like /etc/conf.d/lpp or /etc/lpp.
Was this for ease of use, or was it an intentional decision? (am trying to feel out the 'correct' way to do such things.) |

also, I notice that grepping for ${*} will find "local" and "localtime" for the "local" init script... notice you've got a comma after the appropriate field, suggest something like
| Code: |
percent=`grep "${*}," /etc/init.d/lpp | cut -f 1 -d ' '`

Hi
I've successfully applied the patch to gentoo-2.4.19-xfs-r2.
No major problems...

I have one proposal to make!
What about if we worked on a graphical substitution for the init scripts?
ala mac os?
We can use the lpp to "graphik" the kernel boot process and now "graphik" the init scripts!
What do you say about this?

I've got the patch, and it applies cleanly to gentoo-sources-2.4.17-r9 (only one offset, nothing rejected, no fuzz). I've set CONFIG_LPP=y (and also CONFIG_FB_VESA=y), run make dep fine, but make bzImage bombs with:

Just wanted to say that the patch works great (at least for me).
I think something like this should be distibuted with standard gentoo-sources.
I mean, if u dont like it, dont use it, but the option would be great

I think a substitution would be bad, however a graphical init script loader would work. B.T.W. I have never tried lpp so I don't know how it works. |

Hi
First -- Try to help the guy
mdpye:
Try to do a mrproper before compiling, but remenber to save your kernelconfig. Most of the time that works for me.
Now:

I think you got my point. Although I do not express my self very well in english I think that was what I was trying to say. A graphical init script loader.
