I have filed a bug [1] to gentoo documentation for adding a hint to |
| 31 |
splashutils users. |
| 32 |
Until now i just get a: "WORKSFORME, i must have missconfigured something!". |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
But what? Is it possible that /dev/tty1 is not in place at these early |
| 35 |
moments of booting when it is needed by splashutils? |
