Thanks for that bit, althougth it still means there is a bug :-). |

The bootsplash image is added to ${TEMP}/initrd with |
| 11 |
'cat ${BOOT_SPLASH_INITRD} >> ${TEMP}/initrd' |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
However, at that point, ${TEMP}/initrd doesn't exist anymore, because of |
| 14 |
'gzip -f -9 ${TEMP}/initrd' that runs shortly before it, and the code |
| 15 |
after adding bootsplash only references ${TEMP}/initrd.gz and not |
| 16 |
${TEMP}/initrd ever again. |
