The progressbar worked for me with gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r2 and the bootsplash-patch-0.1 but after an update to gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r5 the silent-bootsplash-picture and the progress bar don't show up anymore.
Instead there are strange messages in the kernel-log:

What does "does not fit into framebuffer" mean and why does it show up now? The only thing I changed in kernel config was something with serial ports.
btw: Thanks for the great work. I hope this goes into the baselayout package soon (perhaps with a USE flag).

Works awesome with default settings (though it was time I re-emerged my baselayout)!
Thank you very much.

I'm have the same problem using 2.4.20-gentoo-rc5. I guess i'd better try downgrading at this point back to rc2, see if that makes a difference. For people interested, i'm trying to solve this thing here

I think that I am the one that pushed for the thing that broke silent mode for all you guys. When using a video card w/ 128MB ram on a system w/ more thatn 832MB system ram, vesafb fails to initalize leaving us with that in a dark whole untill we startx 
I have created a new patch that may work around this problem.
Unfortunatly bugs.gentoo.org is down write now, but if any body is interested to play with it pm me....
maby we can get silent mode for you, and keep my happy penguins counting my procs 
Sorry for killing a feature on you, but I am sure you understand why it might have happend...
good luck
hear is the patch, If you want to try it by hand (copy and past seems to cause problems off the boards I have found...
if you want me to send you the file, just ask.. and I will try to help

Thanks a lot!
That patch solved the "splash picture does not fit into framebuffer" problem for my Kernel 2.4.20-gentoo-r5, Baselayout 1.8.6.8-r1, 256 MB RAM, GeForce 2 MX (64 MB) System.
Good work, phlashback

phlashback:
nicd to see that the patch mentioned here for wolk is now available for the gentoo-sources.
but i think you can have it a lot easier with modifing the kernel line this way:

I just saved the above in a file named fb-kernel-patch-gentoo-r5.diff
then
| Code: |
patch -p1 -d /usr/src/linux < fb-kernel-patch-gentoo-r5.diff
|
Which did not work for me something dose not like one line. |

i had finally gotten it to patch... but then vesafb was COMPLETLY borked on me... so i just tossed the kernel into /dev/null and started over... i'm using the newer gs-sources without a hitch... just follow all the silly patching guides other then this one and you should get a good one going. also the gs-sources seem to have improved my system all-around... but that may just be me getting better at this kernel stuff  (this was like my 60th kernel by now, all within 2yrs ) |

hmmm... I got mine to work with the gentoo sources.... I'll DL gs-sources now and see if there is a diffrence.
I need all the performace I can get, I'm running duron 800 overclocked to 1GHz, & this box is going to be my mythtv home theater setup. As for a projector I'm using the InFocus X1 I picked up for $500.. should be sweet when done and tweaked. |

i'm running a p3 933 MHz coppermine... (coined the 933XL for some stupid reason, prolly because it is not a standard processing speed...)
i actually only get 930 MHz tho... what happened to my other 3 MHz i have no clue... if i can get proper cooling installed i want to overclock to 1 GHz, but Gateway's cooling system is really bad.
my gfx card is a generic GeForce4 TI 4200 w/ the default 128MB vram... |

Phlashback's patch works great with gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r7. I've just tried it.
But after patching the kernel you have to run "make menuconfig" in "/usr/src/linux" and maybe change a value:
Console drivers --->
Frame-buffer support --->
[*] VESA VGA graphics console
(1) remap x times the graphics memory needed
If the silent splash doesn't work with these standard values then increase the value "remap x times the graphics memory needed".
For me it worked with the value 2.
In case there are some people who don't know how to change this value:
Just mark the line, hit Enter and enter the new value.
But I have a question, too. Is it possible to activate the silent splash only at boot time and to deactivate it when Linux shuts down?
And another question that's concerned with this thread only indirectly. Does anyone know where I can get the silent splash picture from the Live CD? |

I was just wondering, is there a way to prevent the splash screen from switching back to console before loading the Xserver? Everything else works just fine.
@cyberpatrol
If you copy the initrd.1024 file from the LiveCD (isolinux-folder) into /boot and adjust your grub.conf to use this file, you should have exactly what you asked for (although I'm not completely sure about the shutdown). |

Of course I've tried this but somehow I have the feeling that booting Linux takes much longer with the initrd.1024 from the Live-CD than with the initrd generated by splash.
So I'd like to have this Live-CD silent splash picture as a jpeg. |

I don't know where you get the original jpg of the LiveCD-bootsplash, but if you look in the following thread, you will find a link to a screenshot. Just save it, cut it, modify it a little and there you go. But I have no idea how separate the bootsplash for boot and shutdown. If you find out how this works, please let me know.

M3 n0 h4x0r, but I think that there is one space too much in phlashback's indentation in his original code in that part. It seems that the patch command is quite sensitive to this, probably because it considers the lines with e.g. video_width and a space too much before it different from the ones in the kernel.
Just speculating though, I entered the variations manually since patch was not working for me either, and there is no way in hell I'll risk messing up too much with things I don't really understand fully.
Regards

have you also patched the file /usr/src/linux/drivers/video/Config.in as mentioned in phlashback's post above?
Try patching the files manually, worked fine for me.

check out the following page

you'll find a patch there for the progressbar. all necessary documentation included.
