1 I did follow this guide a long time ago and again yesterday.

3 When I use emergence as theme everything is working just like it is supposed
4 to. But when I change to livecd-2005.1 or livecd-2006.0 (I think any theme
5 that has activity instead of just a picture) I get this error during bootup:

42 Until yesterday I was using gentoo-sources but that has not changed anything.
43 I have had this problem for a long time. Obviously something is wrong with
44 the initramfs. It was created by this command:
45 # splash_geninitramfs -g /boot/fbsplash-livecd-2006.0-1400x1050 -r 1400x1050
46 -v livecd-2006.0
47
48 If while booted a type:
49 # splash_manager --theme livecd-2006.0 -c set
50 the splash theme is loaded successfully on tty1.
51
52 Any ideas?
