1 I used to have fbsplash or bootsplash or whatever it's called these days
2 working back around 2.6.14 or earlier. Then it broke in 2.6.15 (as per wiki)
3 and I never built a new kernel till now with .17
4
5 This is on a Dell Inspiron 8200 notebook.
6
7 I'm following along here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash
8 And also looked here:
9 http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/troubleshooting.php
10
11 But basically nothing happens when I reboot. :-\
12
13 This works fine:
14 # splash_manager --theme=livecd-2006.1 --cmd=set --tty=1
15
16 And if I do this, it also works:
17 # splash_manager --theme=livecd-2006.0 --cmd=set --tty=12
18
19 Here are some relevant parts.

21 I don't use genkernel.
