I have a problem with my initrd image. When the kernel messages scroll by during bootup the image with (not moving) progress bar is in the background and all the text runs over it and corrupts it. As soon as the base system starts, everything is okay again and looks beautifull. What could it be?
This is my grub.conf (at least the relevant stuff)
Code: | kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6-fb root=/dev/hda5 video=vesafb:1024x768-32@80 splash=silent,theme:emergence CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd /boot/fbsplash-emergence-1024x768 |

Vincenco,
I believe you forgot to tell your kernel to be quiet. To do so, just add the kernel option "quiet" (I edited your code):
Code: | kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6-fb root=/dev/hda5 video=vesafb:1024x768-32@80 splash=silent,theme:emergence quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd /boot/fbsplash-emergence-1024x768 |

I've followed the fbsplash howto on gentoo-wiki, and I'm almost there. But justas I boot, I get this error: Code: | Can't open config file /etc/splash/emergence/1024x768.cfg | . The thing is is I am not using 1024x768. I have made everything 1280x1024. I still get this. But another thing is that the file exists, so it's kinda a fucked up mix Why does it ask for the wrong resolution config file, and why can't it find the file that actually exists?
I'm on stable amd64 arch.
Just to have tried the latest... I just installed splashutils 1.1.9.8-r1 ~amd64, but that did not help. Still the same errormsg while booting. (But I get the progressbar though.. after a short while)
Edit: Do I need to recompile my kernel after I install the splashutils? |
I also get this error. Anyone know why? _________________ "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."

|

I can't get splashutils-1.1.9.9 to emerge.
It's dying on an internal dependency when it attempts to retrieve its own copy of klibc.
This is the output I get:
It does that for a few other distribution points and then emerge just gives up and has been doing that since splashutils-1.1.9.9 was released. I checked packages.gentoo.org for klibc and it's listed there and I have it unmasked in /etc/portage/packages.keywords.
Has anyone else encountered this or have a fix? |

Ok, i didn't dig myself through this thread, so i don't know if this problem was fixed somewhere, if so, just tell me the page and i can read myself
I have an i810 graphic card connected to a laptop display and need my framebuffer to get a fullscreen console, which usually works fine with 1024x768. Yesterday, i installed the livecd-splash-theme, all runs fine and looks very nice. When it is finished booting and i get my commandline, the part of the screen where the statusbar was displayed is completly useless. It stays blank and is the lower screenboarder, so i guess i have 1024x696 now. I even see a difference in the background-colour, but it is a very small difference....
I guess this is not as it is intended, is there a way to fix it?
Also, i don't get a background image, but the last job started before local says something about background images loaded. Is a background picture normally included in the livecd-2005.1 theme? I could survive without, i think, so this is not so important as the other issue.
This is my grub conf snipplet (the "video:" part is in exactly the same line as the kernel command, it doesn't look like that here...)
Code: |
title=test 2.6.12-gentoo-r6
root=(hd0,2)
kernel=(hd0,2)/bzImage root=/dev/hda5 video=i810fb:vram:4,xres:1024,yres:768,bpp:16,hsync1:30,hsync2:55,vsync1:50,vsync2:85,accel splash=silent,theme:livecd-2005.1 quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd=(hd0,2)/splashdisk |
I use splashutils-1.1.9.7 and livecd-2005.1 theme (unmodified)
@allan: just download the file and put it into /usr/portage/distfiles. Thats all, i think.

I used to have a problem with the progressbar fbsplash image. It always loaded only on the top half of the screen, but when I upgraded to 2.6.12 kernel, it now works correctly. But now in boot, the backgroung splash image doesn't load at all? I don't know why? With the 2.6.11 kernel, it always loaded.
Any advice what might be wrong?
Here is my grub:
Code: |
title kernel-2.6.12-r9, fbsplash 1280x1024
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz3 ro root=/dev/hda1 video=vesafb:ywrap,pmipal,1280x1024-32@60 splash=silent,theme:gentux quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd /boot/fbsplash-gentux-1280x1024

I have a similar card (i855GM) in my laptop, which usually uses the same driver. Many people have told me that i810fb is "no good" (I think there's even something in the kernel notes about this)... try using intelfb (or if that fails, vesafb-tng)... also try cutting down on those parameters. My video bit reads:
Code: |
video=intelfb:1024x768@85,mtrr,ywrap
|
Note: I have no idea what the significance of a refresh rate is on a laptop LCD screen... but 85 works for me, heh.
Also, as I said in a previous post in this topic, I cannot get the "livecd-2005.1" theme to work. "gentoo" works fine for me, and "emergence" looks corrupted (same goes in all cases on my desktop system). |

@dr_nailz: I re-emerged the splashutils, and now, with two updated versions since the problem occurred, everything is just fine with my options! Livecd-2005.1 works fine for me! |

I seem to get most of the stuff to work, but when i boot up i get this
Code: | Uncompressing Linux...Ok, booting the kernel
Couldn't load font file
Couldn't load 36pt font from (null)
INIT:version 2.86 booting |
and then everything boots up and works fine
i'm using verbose mode on the gentoo theme
any idea where the null comes from?
thanks |

Yeah, what you need to do is add a line in your .cfg of the theme you use pointing to the font you'll be using :
text_font=/etc/splash/luxisri.ttf
This way the font will be compiled in the image and will be found during boot time.
Enjoy! |

I have a strange problem. With gentoo-sources-2.6.13, I can only select vesafb, NOT vesafb-tng. I want a 1280x1024 bootsplash, so I created an initrd with splash_geninitramfs for 1280x1024 (them livecd-2005.1), copied it to boot, configed the kernel etc. At bootup, I get those messages:
Quote: |
Failed to load config file 1024x768.cfg
Failed to load image (NULL)
|
After fiddling around, I found this: In my grub.conf I have the option vga=791. I just found out that this is 1024x768x16bit. So, no wonder, it tries to load 1024x768 bootsplash. BUT, the 1280x1024 bootsplash I've created comes up fine. Still, I tried setting the correct vga= option in grub.conf, but all the 1280x1024 modes (794, 795, 0x31A, 0x31B) do not work at all! I can't tell grub to do 1280x1024, it only works when I select 1024x768, but still it loads the 1280x1024 splash! Isn't that strange? And what can I do about that???

I've had the same problem, I think others have, too. So it works for you when you set your framebuffer to 1024x768, or when you use the 1024x768 splash? _________________ "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."

I use lilo which I find more userfriendly and it just works Here's my settings for 1280x1024 :
Code: |
boot = /dev/sda
prompt
timeout=50
default="Linux"
install=/boot/boot-bmp.b # means you will use grafical version
bitmap=/boot/handy_128.bmp # background path
bmp-colors=38,68,53,112,38,25 # text color
bmp-table=114p,347p,2,7 # label position on the screen p=pixel
bmp-timer=470p,336p,25,0,11 # timer position on the screen p=pixel
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="Linux"
read-only
root=/dev/sda1
append="video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,1280x1024-24@60 splash=silent,kdgraphics,fadein,theme:GoGentooGo quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1"
initrd = /boot/fbsplash-gogentoogo-1280x1024
image=/boot/vmlinuz.old
label="LinuxOld"
read-only
root=/dev/sda1
append="video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,1280x1024-24@60 splash=silent,kdgraphics,fadein,theme:GoGentooGo quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1"
initrd = /boot/fbsplash-gogentoogo-1280x1024
other=/dev/sda3
label="Windoze"
table=/dev/sda
|
Mind you there's a bmp for my OS choice which I find funny (Matrix style : All I offer is the truth )
The command you *have* to launch after installing splashutills (and your splash) before rebooting for the first time is :
Code: |
splash_geninitramfs -v -g /boot/fbsplash-gogentoogo-1280x1024 -r 1280x1024 GoGentooGo
|
in my case.
Hope this helps. |

i used the 2.6.13.1 kernel with nitro patchset(Iam gonna try 2.6.13.2 today)all i did in my kernel config is disable vga and vesa and only enabled i810fb and generalized timings
here is my grub options that i passed to the kernel
video=i810fb:vram:4,bpp:16(or 24),xres:1024,yres:768,hsync1:30,hsync2:54,vsync1:50,vsync2:120,mtrr splash=silent,theme:default _________________ [img:2934e7148e]http://img322.imageshack.us/img322/6703/lordphoenix5fn.jpg[/img:2934e7148e]

try this
in a command line type splash_geninitramfs -g /boot/emerg.img -r 1024x768 Emergence
if u get no errors there then add this oftion to your grub conf
replace the default initrd.img in you grub conf with emerg.conf and make sure u tell fbsplash what theme u are using by passing this option to your kernel "splash=silent,theme:emergence CONSOLE=/dev/tty1"
if nothing works post your grub and kernel config files

Since I upgraded my kernel from 2.6.10 to 2.6.12, gensplash is broken on my ppc.
The splashscreen still appears, but no desisgn for the terminals. Kernelparameter and config should be quite the same as before. With the old kernel the designs still work.
Maybe the new radeonfb is broken? _________________ HP ZBook Power 15.6" G8 i7-11800H|HP EliteDesk 800G1 i7-4790|HP Compaq Pro 6300 i7-3770 |

|
|
Hello,
OK, my boot splash is working well...at boot.
But when I shutdown the system, I again get the bootscreen...its a little bit anoying, getting a "the system is booted" picture on shutting down.
Any help?
Is there a detailed documentation of the splashutils?
greetings,
bienchen |
