To fix that one, disable the "Bootup logo" in the kernel config: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
CONFIG_LOGO: Device drivers -> Graphics support |
| 9 |

Make sure that SPLASH_XSERVICE is *not* set in /etc/conf.d/splash. If |
| 19 |
it's set, comment it out: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
# Name of the boot service starting X. Useful in cases when X is |
| 22 |
# started by a custom initscript, other than the usual 'xdm'. If you |
| 23 |
# are using a custom X initscript and do not set this variable |
| 24 |
# correctly, do not be surprised if you end up at tty1 at the end of |
| 25 |
# the boot process (instead of in an X session). |
| 26 |
# SPLASH_XSERVICE="xdm" |

OK, to verify that it's not a problem with dracut, try to use Gentoo's |
| 33 |
native tool for this (splash_geninitramfs). Try the below, which should |
| 34 |
duplicate my own working config: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
emerge media-gfx/splash-themes-livecd |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
emerge media-gfx/splashutils |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
splash_geninitramfs --verbose --res 1920x1080 --generate \ |
| 41 |
/boot/initrd.splash1920x1080 livecd-2007.0 |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Then edit your grub config: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
kernel <your kernel> <your other opts> quiet |
| 46 |
splash=theme:livecd-2007.0 console=tty1 |
| 47 |
initrd /boot/initrd.splash1920x1080 |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
(Substitute 1920x1080 with whatever you're using.) |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Another useful thing to do is to disable clearing the text of tty1, so |
| 52 |
that the OpenRC messages don't get cleared. To do that, find this line: |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
in /etc/inittab and append "--noclear" to it: |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux --noclear |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Lastly, make sure that tty7 doesn't get a decoration. In |
| 61 |
/etc/conf.d/fbcondecor, set something like: |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
FBCONDECOR_TTYS="1 2 3 4 5 6" |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
to only decorate tty1 through tt6. Reboot and check if it works, |
| 66 |
especially automatic switching to tty7/xdm. |
