No, doesn't work either. |

The options are pretty much out of HOWTO.fbsplash: |
| 20 |
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/hda2 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 udev |
| 21 |
video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-32@85 splash=silent,theme:sysex |
| 22 |
initrd /boot/fbsplash-sysex-1024x768 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I just added "udev" for obvious reasons and "CONSOLE" because the kernel |
| 25 |
complained about that option missing (plus, "silent mode" didn't work without |
| 26 |
it either). Could reduce bpp to 16 or some such but then again, why would |
| 27 |
"silent" work while "verbose" doesn't? |
| 28 |
|

I've got another box where everything still works. That one runs an older |
| 30 |
kernel (2.6.9-r3). So I guess it's kernel dependent. |
