13 I've removed BOOT_MSG. Still no go. It says "Initializing the kernel"
14 and nothing else happens.
15
16 One thing I noticed is that:
17
18 splash_geninitramfs -g /boot/splash1280x1024 -r 1280x1024 livecd-2007.0
19
20 only includes the JPEG images in the initrd image. Things like
21 "icons/apmd_started.png", "icons/sysklogd_started.png", etc, are not
22 included. I've included them manually (-o /etc/splash/livecd-2007.0)
23 but still no go; the splash remains static :(
