That means, afaik, that there is an error in the syntax of that specific |
| 22 |
line, and you need to fix it, as GRUB can't figure out or even guess |
| 23 |
what the heck you mean. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
For reference, here's my kernel command line (splash does work for me): |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 |
| 28 |
video=vesafb-tng:ywrap,mtrr,pmipal,1280x1024-32@60 |
| 29 |
splash=silent,theme:emergence quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
The (main) difference I see is that you have no bit depth specified in |
| 32 |
your video= command, but perhaps vesafb doesn't need one. I also see |
| 33 |
that I'm using pmipal and you aren't but since I don't even know what |
| 34 |
that is anyway, I'll assume it's not important. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
So what I'm wondering is-- you're asking for vesafb in the command line, |
| 37 |
but is that actually the framebuffer that you've selected in the kernel |
| 38 |
(in menuconfig, Device Drivers section =>Graphics support, what is the |
| 39 |
actual name of the vesa framebuffer being built)? |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Mine looks like |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
VESA VGA graphics support |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
VESA driver type (vesafb-tng) ---> |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Does it actually say 'vesafb' between your parentheses (as I believe |
| 48 |
that vesafb-tng is the default if you enable VESA VGA graphics support)? |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Also what version of splashutils, did you recently upgrade the kernel |
| 51 |
from 2.6.11, and if so, did you re-generate the splash initrd (there's |
| 52 |
an einfo to this effect in the recent splashutils ebuilds)? |
| 53 |
