Can you point me into the direction of whoever reversed the bootsplash patch,
or where I can get the latest bootsplash patch. The bootsplash patch on the
bootsplash website is for kernel 2.6.15.x, and when I have tried to apply it,
it ruins the kernel sources so I cannot compile until I remove the kernel
sources and reinstall them.
Splashy is not working and as far as we can tell it is not being called at all.
We tested it on two-G3s, a G4 and G5 with no luck. We add
splash
splash=silent
vga=
video=
and still splashy is not being called. We looked at the boot.msg and we
confirmed that splashy is not actually being called at startup in the initrd.
We can test splashy with
splashy boot
splashy test
and all is fine. We even edited the /etc/init.d/boot and added
/bin/splashy boot
after /proc was started, which worked, but just brings up the boot screen with
no progress bar. SO there is nothing wrong with the video settings, and
everything to do with how splashy is being setup on a PPC.
