Now I've done it I'm not quite sure. I just wanted to do something other than take a rendered 3D image, darken it and stick a box on it. I might try to make it look like an Atari ST desktop instead, I think that would be cooler.

well, after reading this tutorial over, it is fantastic! I'm really mad though, since I spent a whole day recompiling kernels trying to get this to work (I really liked how the LiveCD used this, so I found it in portage and started messing around). I've managed to get it all working on my own, for the most part (I didn't use this manual, I did it all on my own, probably messing things up along the way.
I have it using the Gentoo LiveCD 2004.1 theme. After GRUB boots Linux, it appears perfectly like the LiveCD. However, the last line it gets to before it brings up the KDE Login Manager, nukes it. "Setting Console frame buffer images..." erases it with some other Gentoo theme I don't want. I tried to remove console frame buffer support from my kernel (remember, I was using trial and error and *wasn't thinking*) and that made nothing show until KDE started up...
so...is there a way to make it not overwrite that??? I really like the LiveCD theme better, and I don't know how to make the default Gentoo one stop. Since I did this completely out or order, I wouldn't be surprised at all if there is something I did wrong (and in fact, I know something is wrong  ). Any suggestions are welcome, and I can post .CONF files here as necessary. |

I should probably add some more stuff to my earlier post (it was really late when I typed it up). I'm running Kernel version 2.6.5-gentoo-r1 on a PIII 733mHz. And, as for what I'm talking about for the switching back to default gentoo theme, it switches the console background from this (Gentoo LiveCD 2004.1) to this (default Gentoo Bootsplash theme). Is it an improperly formed initrd file? Some .CONF file I missed?
Thanks for any help  |

Thanks for the link. I tried patching my gentoo-dev-sources (2.6.7-gentoo) with this but it looks like it was a reverse patch and I lost the "configure bootsplash" menu. Is there a recommended patch for the gentoo-dev-sources?
Thanks,
Dave

I can't get bootsplash and framebuffer working on my system.
I have an Abit IS7-E motherboard and a GeForce 4 MX graphics card.
On boot time I get the message:
You passed an undefined mode number.
Press <RETURN> to see video modes available, <SPACE> to continue or wait 30 secs
My grub.conf:
title=linux 2.6.5 with fb
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.5-fb root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr vga=0x317
initrd=/boot/initrd-1024x768

I have taken some screenshots of my framebuffer with bootpslash support. I'am playing the matrix revolution's trailer with xine using libcaca.

Try changing vga to 0x318 and if your initrd-1024x768 is in the same directory as your kernel you might have to change it to:
| Code: |
initrd=(hd0,0)/initrd-1024x768

i'm running 2.6.7-mm2 and successfully aplied the patch mentioned above. still, bootsplash does not work. it simply hangs after read in the kernel and does nothing - i.e. i get a black screen and the disk does nothing neither. my card is a VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (i810).
i tried both 0x317 and 0x305 according to
| Code: | | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
----+-------------------------------------
256 | 0x301 0x303 0x305 0x307
32k | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x319
64k | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x31A
16M | 0x312 0x315 0x318 0x31B |
| Code: | image=/boot/kernel-2.6.7-mm2/bzImage
vga=0x305
root=/dev/hda3
label=2.6.7-mm2
read-only
append ="apm=on acpi=off video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr"
initrd=/boot/initrd-Emergance |
you see i now have the vga set to 0x305 as this is the only mode which the kernel at least boots (unfortunately without a bootsplash).

I have stiil problems with i810 + gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r6.
framebuffer seems to work now (tux is shown), but no bootsplash. On other PCs with standard vgafb it works.
For booting GNU/Linux
title Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,1)
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 video=i810fb:hsync1=31.5:hsync2=48.5:vsync1=50:vsync2=70:xres=1024:yres=768:mtrr:bpp=16 splash=verbose
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd-1024x768
can anyone help?
regards

this sound interesting as i do have a intel i810 graphic card too. so this may be the issue. have you ever achieved getting bootsplash running with the i810?

| I don't know if it's the intel integrated graphics, but I'm using a Geforce FX5200 with an Nforce2 motherboard, and I just upgraded my kernel to 2.6.7-mm2, applied the bootsplash patch and bootsplash stopped working for me. It just hangs with a black screen when trying to boot the kernel. |

bad news for you and good news for us. so i guess it's a kernel/bootsplash issue. thanks for the info!

| I ended reverting back to 2.6.7-r3-mm2 due to the bootsplash problem with 2.6.7-mm2 and due to an audio problem. |

I can't get my personal splash image to load on boot(before the rc script loads it on boot), it uses the generic ugly gentoo bootsplash with the cow. How can I fix that? I followed the guide carefully.

Hi.
I have the gentoo-dev-sources2.6.7-r6 installed and i'm now trying to get the bootsplash running. The problem is, that none of the patches linked in the forums work. It alwas says something like "previously applied patch detected". But i didn't apply any patch before. And i can't access the bootsplash menu in menuconfig, so the patch _isn't_ applied.
Well, i'm a n00b as you can see, but it would be great if someone could give me a solution for this problem.
Thanks |
