First of all, I think your command is incorrect: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
splash_geninitramfs --help |
| 29 |
splash_geninitramfs/splashutils-1.1.9.10 |
| 30 |
Usage: splash_geninitramfs [options] [--all|theme ...] |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Main operation modes: |
| 33 |
-g, --generate=IMG generate an initramfs image with all necessary files |
| 34 |
-a, --append=IMG append a theme and helper files (if necessary) |
| 35 |
to an initramfs image |
| 36 |
-c, --copy=DIR copy all necessary files into the specified directory; |
| 37 |
DIR should point to the root directory of an initramfs |
| 38 |
-h, --help show this help message |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Options: |
| 41 |
-r, --res=RES copy data for specific resolutions only; RES is a |
| 42 |
comma-separated list of the resolutions for which the |
| 43 |
images |
| 44 |
are to be copied |
| 45 |
-v, --verbose verbose output |
| 46 |
--no8bpp ignore 8bpp images (can save a lot of space) |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
basically, you're saying |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
(run) splash_geninitramfs (and that program should) -v (erbosely) |
| 51 |
-g(enerate an image called) /etc/fbsplash-livecd-2005.1 (which isn't |
| 52 |
going to do you much good, in /etc, but whatever; least of our problems |
| 53 |
at this point, but it should be in /boot, since this is the initramfs |
| 54 |
itself, not where its looking for the files to be included in the |
| 55 |
initramfs) (at a) -r(esolution of) 1024x768 (using the theme files for |
| 56 |
the theme) livecd-2005.1 |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
What is of concern to me is that splash_geninitramfs cannot find the |
| 59 |
theme files to create the initramfs. Obviously, the splash will not work |
| 60 |
in this case, because there's no theme for splash to display (the |
| 61 |
initramfs is not correctly created). |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
So the first thing we need to know is why that might be. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
What version of splashutils are you using? Is this an upgrade from a |
| 66 |
pre-1.0 version? |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
Did you actually install the correct theme package: |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
* media-gfx/splash-themes-livecd |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
Available versions: 2004.3 2005.0 2005.1 |
| 73 |
Installed: 2005.1 |
| 74 |

| 76 |
|
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
or did you install the incorrect theme package |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
* media-gfx/bootsplash-themes-livecd |
| 81 |
Available versions: 2004.0 2004.1 2004.2-r4 ~2004.3-r1 |
| 82 |
Installed: none |

It's also possible that you have a kernel problem (incompletely |
| 88 |
configured)-- while you clearly need framebuffer support, there is also |
| 89 |
a setting |
| 90 |
|
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
# Logo configuration |
| 93 |
# |
| 94 |
# CONFIG_LOGO is not set |
| 95 |
# CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT is not set |
| 96 |
==>CONFIG_FB_SPLASH=y |
| 97 |
|
| 98 |
which only becomes available if all other related settings are correctly |
| 99 |
set... but it's possible that splash_geninitramfs may not work correctly |
| 100 |
if it is not set (or not available). |
| 101 |
|
| 102 |
What I would try is |
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
1. unmerge all splash theme packages; |
| 105 |
|
| 106 |
2. delete all leftover theme folders left in /etc/splash |
| 107 |
|
| 108 |
3. check my /usr/src/linux symlink and make sure it was pointing to the |
| 109 |
correct kernel; |
| 110 |
|
| 111 |
4. re-emerge splashutils |
| 112 |
|
| 113 |
5. emerge the theme packages again |
| 114 |
|
| 115 |
6. set the 'default' symlink in /etc/splash to point to my preferred |
| 116 |
theme if not emergence. |
| 117 |
|
| 118 |
Then I would start with the http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash and go |
| 119 |
through it step by step, making sure that my kernel config was correct, |
| 120 |
and recompiling the kernel if it was not. If I recompiled the kernel, I |
| 121 |
would also re-emerge splashutils (again) so that it was compiled against |
| 122 |
the correctly compiled kernel rather than the incorrectly compiled one). |
| 123 |
|
| 124 |
The Wiki instructions do work, and they are to the best of my knowledge, |
| 125 |
quite complete (which is why they work). |
| 126 |
|
| 127 |
Your error output suggests that something on your system is improperly |
| 128 |
installed (the idea that splashutils can't find its own theme files is a |
| 129 |
strong indication), so the best thing to do would be to start "clean" |
| 130 |
(or as clean as possible) and proceed carefully from there. |
| 131 |
|
| 132 |
Hope this helps, |
| 133 |
