Has anyone gotten the kernel-patch-bootsplash to work in etch?
I have installe the package and built my kernel with:
make-dpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --append-to-version -dtsplash\
\--revision 1 --added-patches bootsplash kernel-image
dpkg -i ../linux-image-2.6.15-dtsplash_1_i386.deb
which seemed to go through without errors:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/kernels/linux-source-2.6.15-splash$ cat applied_patches
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/apply/bootsplash
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/kernels/linux-source-2.6.15-splash$ grep SPLASH .config
CONFIG_BOOTSPLASH=y
But when I reboot using the new kernel, I see nothing different....
I am also curious about the fact that I have no /dev/fb* devices on my
Debian 4.6 kernel. The devices exist in my old SuSE 2.4 kernel system,
and the description in
Documentation/fb/framebuffer.txt
in my Debian Etch kernel source tree certainly implies that this should
still be the name...
As far as I can see I have it configured:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/kernels/linux-source-2.6.15-splash$ grep FRAME .config
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
Is the documentation out of date? Has the convention changed? Or does
this mean it isn't working for some reason - which might explain the
lack of spectacular splashing...
