Your problem seems to be the same one I had. |

Yes... you see your kernel config for the default mode? It does not |
| 28 |
specify a bit depth. Neither did mine. Change the setting in the kernel to |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
1280x1024-32@60 |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
(or whatever your preferred resolution is, thereby specifying a bit |
| 33 |
depth to the kernel config) |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
recompile the kernel, and try again, using the setting you want in |
| 36 |
grub.conf, and it should work. At least, that's what fixed it for me. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
This is not the way it's *supposed* to work-- the setting in the kernel |
| 39 |
is supposed to be overridden by the setting in grub.conf. And for most |
| 40 |
everybody, it seems to work that way. But in my experience, the setting |
| 41 |
in grub.conf is ignored if the kernel config doesn't conform to it-- if |
| 42 |
I haven't set a bit depth in the kernel, the kernel framebuffer settings |
| 43 |
default to 8bpp, which the livecd theme does not support, causing the |
| 44 |
livecd themes to fail (because the theme looks for 8bpp pix instead of |
| 45 |
overriding the fallback to what I specified in grub.conf). Emergence |
| 46 |
does support 8bpp, so that would work, but that's not what we're trying |
| 47 |
to do. |
| 48 |

It seems to be a bug, but if you could confirm that 'fixing' your kernel |
| 50 |
setting fixes the problem for you, then that would help confirm that it |
| 51 |
is a bug (as well as fixing your problem), although it seems to not |
| 52 |
affect everyone for some reason (yet to be determined). |
