It works with baselayout 1.8.6.10-r1. The problem is that the installer doesn't sort the choices alphabetically but in ASCII order so 1.8.6.10 is at the second position after 1.8.6.1 and not after 1.8.6.9 that was my problem when installing it.
I can't remember if there was an own option for 1.8.6.10-r1. If yes then select this if not then select 1.8.6.10. |

yay! it works now; i get two breif animations: a harddrive with a blinking LED and a little globe-type thingie
coolness 
the reason i hadn't tried before was because i didn't want to tell it to use a different diff and possibly break my baselayout.. that would have sucked... but nothing is broken yet!
ps: /sbin/rc: line 201: filter_environ: command not found
it says that about 100 times 
line 201 says: | Quote: |
if [ -x /sbin/irqbalance -a "$(get_KV)" -ge "$(KV_to_int '2.5.0')" |
pps: shutdown silent still doesn't work even though i commented out the lines pointed out by micha |

I installed bootsplash-patch-0.5.2. On reboot the silent splash and progress bar showed up, but switched to verbose half way through the Gentoo Init scripts with lots of error messages like
| Code: |
/sbin/rc: line 236: runlevel_start: command not found
|
Then when I restarted, I just got the regular Gentoo shutdown scripts thing, with errors similar to above, and without silent splash and progress bar.
Later I tried to move the positioning of the progress bar (by editing the x y coordinates in the bootsplash-1280x1024.cfg, and making the /boot/initrd-1280x1024 file). Which resulted in a splash image for shutdown and bootup with no progress bar.
Then I changed the positioning of the bar back to what it was originally, and I get a progress bar space but no bar moving across it.
Any ideas?

I just tried teh patch - not sure if it worked yet, but I have found an error in the install script.
probably some quoting issue: When the bootsplash-patch folder containing the install.sh is in a path that contains blanks, then it will not find any versions. It works fine though, when there are no blanks in teh pathname
EDIT:
I just rebooted and the following happens:
when rebooting the silentjpeg pops up and "Rrebooting, press F2 for verbose mode" appears above the box for the progressbar, which is not being displayed.
When booting, the silentjpeg gets displayed with the box for the progressbar and that is it. No progressbar, not the message"Starting press F2 for verbose mode"
I dont know where to continue from there - the tips in this thread seem to belong to toomany different approaches on how to get an fb - It would be great if someone who has dug into that matter could sort it a little...
I am using baselayout 1.6.8.10.-r1and gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.test11-r2 |

Hey Everybody
I hope this helps . I had the same problem. The bar is there for the progress , but no "progress" is seen.
I read through some of bootsplash tutorials and found this
| Quote: |
`echo 'echo "show 30000" > /proc/splash' >> /etc/conf.d/rc`
`echo 'echo "show 60000" > /proc/splash' >> /etc/conf.d/local.start`
`echo 'echo "show 35000" > /proc/splash' >> /etc/conf.d/metalog`
`echo 'echo "show 40000" > /proc/splash' >> /etc/conf.d/hdparm`
`echo 'echo "show 50000" > /proc/splash' >> /etc/conf.d/net`
`echo 'echo "show 55000" > /proc/splash' >> /etc/conf.d/xfs`
|
After entering in those lines. I rebooted and it all worked properly. The thing is the "progress" doesnt start until about 1/3 into the bootup. But it works and I can now show off my l33t progress bar.
There are 2 progress bar tutorials, and I had to take bits and pieces out of both in order for it to work properly.
Basically what I did was follow this tutorial to the tee.
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=105142&highlight=progress+bar
Once I had done that, I used the code that I pasted above from this tutorial.
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=100620&highlight=progress+bar
Thanks to both those authers for those tutorials. What someone really should do is to write another tutorial using the info from both of those progress bar posts , so that newbies ( like myself) can get it running without much hassle.
