Hi List I downloaded, patched and compiled the kernel 2.6.11.7 for using bootsplash. I used the following command: MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-3.3" make-kpkg --initrd --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
But when I want to boot the computer using it, the bootsplash silent mode screen apears and it freezes. If I look to the verbose tty (F2) I got the following at the end of the boot messages: ----------------------------------------------------- RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM diskimage starting at 0 VFS: CAnnot open root device "305" or unknown block (3,5) Please append a correct root= boot option Kernel panic- no suncing: VFS: unable to mount fs on unknown - block (3,5) ----------------------------------------------------- This is my /etc/lilo.conf file: ----------------------------------------------------- lba32 # Specifies the boot device boot=/dev/hda root=/dev/hda5 # Bitmap configuration for /boot/coffee.bmp bitmap=/boot/coffee.bmp bmp-colors=12,,11,15,,8 bmp-table=385p,100p,1,10 bmp-timer=38,2,13,1 install=bmp # Prompt to use certaing image.

This entry uses the same kernel but without bootsplash At the begining I wasn't any bootsplash screen and the same kernel panic messge, but I made a new initrd image using: splash -f -s /etc/bootsplash/themes/newlinux/config/bootsplash-1280x1024.cfg >> /boot/initrd.splash Some advice? Thank you in forehand Alvaro. PD: Do you know where the booting log is stored? I took a look at /etc/log/messages and /etc/log/system but I didn't found any line with the error. I guess the system doesn write the information at this point... but it sounds more real that I did't found the rigth file. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
