Hello! Today I updated the kernel of my Gentoo distro to 2.6.10-r2 :-)

I decided to give a try to fbsplash, but when I try to emerge splash-utils I get an error during the installation (it compiles):
Quote:

make: *** [splash_util] Error 1

!!! ERROR: media-gfx/splashutils-0.9.1 failed.

Any idea? Is it possible to have fbsplash in a Pegasos II ?

Thank u !

I'm not sure fbsplash works on ppc yet. Bootsplash did but it has been superseded by fbsplash. I'll do some more testing when I have some time to spare.

I'm not sure what is causing the error you pasted. Seems like it is forgetting to link with some library. I'll look into it.

I was unable to reproduce this error. Do you have libpng 1.2.8 installed?

Post subject:  Re: fbsplash !
I had libpng 1.2.5-r8
After updating to 1.2.8 I was able to install it! :-D Thank u again! ^^

I just tried /etc/init.d/splash start and it worked ;)
Next time I reset my machine I'll try to configure the startup.

I kindda wanna make a Pegasos Cool Computing theme for fbsplash ;-)

BTW, I'm still getting "Warning: Unable to open an initial console" when booting in the new kernel. I am using devfs, although udev is also installed (not sure how to use it... ^^;) I can't see the feedback from the services started at startup :-( It has something to do with console=tty0 option? I tried adding that option to the kernel, but it's the same.

Oops! This question is off-topic ... sorry ^^;

By the way, shouldn't be the dependency with libpng >=1.2.8 automatically solved by portage?

@hawk

Could you tell me how did you configure/activate fbsplash? Do I have to set special options in the kernel?
The information in the Gentoo forums is rather confused and dated. :?

It should. I have reported it as a bug. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81608

@RockmanX:

Check http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash

By default, the pegasos-sources have fbsplash support activated, so if u compiled that kernel it should work straight away.

Then, u just need to emerge splashutils. After that, check /etc/conf.d/splash to set your theme. There are 2 themes to start: emerge and gentoo. Try /etc/init.d/splash start to see if it works. You need a resolution and bpp that matches the pictures provided in the image dir of the theme. If you like it, just add it to the default run level:
Code:
rc-update add splash default
If you want also soon after boot, u need to add to the kernel options. This is the options I am using:
Code:
boot hd:3 2.6.10r2 root=/dev/hda8 hdc=scsi video=radeonfb:1024x768-16@60 splash=silent,theme:emergence
I tried 24 bpp, but it didn't work. If it fails, I think by default it starts at 640x480-8, and there are no images available for that resolution.

When I start from boot, the color looks weird. I m thinking that it may have something to do with the Tux logo... I also get the logo at the beginning. Maybe I should deactivate the logo and recompile the kernel? Any idea?

Thank u! ^^
