I'm stuck and I don't see what I am doing wrong. |

I want a splash screen, so I emerged splash and the 'gentoo' theme. I configured a kernel and used genkernel to perform the build for me. |

I triple checked the kernel has the right framebuffer options, initrd contains the requested theme and I am passing the parameters suggested by genkernel using grub.conf. Yet all that happens is the display changes to a higher resolution mode, but no logo, just normal boot messages. |

A livecd does show a boot logo, so I know vesa modes are supported by the h/w platform. |

Now I have read that two files 'splash_helper' and 'fbcondecor_helper' maybe required in /sbin on the target system - can any one confirm if this is true? |

If so I have another problem since 'splash_helper' does not exist anywhere on my build system (only a splash_functions). This is why I just did not tried copying the files. |

Anyone have any thoughts? |
