Hi,
I dont exactly know it i am right here, but you can move this post anyway.
My problem is: Since i upgraded my kernel to 2.6.15-suspend2 fbsplash wont
work anymore. I configured everything following the HOWTO but the splash
appears very late (after kernel loading and some other things like udev etc.).
Booting with 2.6.13 works fine. Heres my grub.conf:
Code:

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.15 Suspend Extension
root (hd0,4)
kernel (hd0,4)/kernel-2.6.15-suspend2 acpi=on root=/dev/hda7 video=vesafb:1280x1024-32@60,mtrr,ywrap splash=silent,fadein,theme:livecd-2005.1 quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 resume2=swap:/dev/hda6
initrd /boot/fbsplash-livecd-1280x1024

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.13-r3
root (hd0,4)
kernel (hd0,4)/kernel-2.6.13-gentoo-r3 acpi=on root=/dev/hda7 video=vesafb:1280x1024-16@60,mtrr,mywrap splash=silent,fadein,theme:livecd-2005.1 quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd (hd0,4)/boot/fbsplash-livecd-1280x1024

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.13 Suspend Extension
root (hd0,4)
kernel (hd0,4)/kernel-2.6.13-suspend2-r4 acpi=on root=/dev/hda7 video=vesafb:1280x1024-16@60,mtrr,ywrap splash=silent,fadein,theme:livecd-2005.1 quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 resume2=swap:/dev/hda6
initrd (hd0,4)/boot/fbsplash-livecd-1280x1024


I guessed this could be a kernel config issue but everything seems to be OK.
Any thoughts?

Emerge vanilla-sources, then in /usr/src/linux/drivers/Makefile move the line that ends "+= char/" to just before the line that ends "+= video/".

Before:
Code:
obj-$(CONFIG_RAPIDIO)      += rapidio/
obj-y            += video/
obj-$(CONFIG_ACPI)      += acpi/
# PnP must come after ACPI since it will eventually need to check if acpi
# was used and do nothing if so
obj-$(CONFIG_PNP)      += pnp/

# char/ comes before serial/ etc so that the VT console is the boot-time
# default.
obj-y            += char/

obj-$(CONFIG_CONNECTOR)      += connector/
After:
Code:
obj-$(CONFIG_RAPIDIO)      += rapidio/
# char/ comes before serial/ etc so that the VT console is the boot-time
# default.
obj-y            += char/
obj-y            += video/
obj-$(CONFIG_ACPI)      += acpi/
# PnP must come after ACPI since it will eventually need to check if acpi
# was used and do nothing if so
obj-$(CONFIG_PNP)      += pnp/

obj-$(CONFIG_CONNECTOR)      += connector/

Note: the real file should have tabs, even though this forum replaces tabs with spaces. To get your edit to take effect,
  • delete /usr/src/linux/drivers/built-in.o if it exists
  • recompile and reinstall the kernel
  • reboot
