Umm... pardon me for asking, but you've said at least twice that an
error informs you that splash can't open the config file on
/etc/splash-- but you've never said that you checked the config file at
/etc/splash to confirm that it 1) exists 2) is readable (permissions,
syntax)....
Yes the files exist and the permissions are right where i should be
able to use them. and the /dev/fb0 and /dev/fb/0 i have no idea wtf they
are.
Now that we know they're /dev/fb and not /dev/fd (which is the floppy
drive), I would imagine that they refer to the framebuffer devices
(which are apparently not being created? or are being created too late?)
Now, on my system, /dev/fb0 is a symlink to /dev/fb/0, which is as it
should be-- and makes me think that this is a udev issue, as that's udev
device creation-type naming.
Since the devices are eventually being created (as you've indicated that
your framebuffer later works), that suggests that you have hotplug
creating the device late in the boot process. Do you have coldplug,
which is responsible for creating the early devices (presumably like
this one)?
