The kernel splash cpio is just added (cat .. >> ...) to the end of the initrd cpio. That's the place where the kernel looks it up. You can take a look into either the mkinitrd scripts or alternatively to KIWIConfig.sh::suseGFXBoot at the very end of the function: #====================================== # create splash screen #-------------------------------------- # .. which among other things creates splash cpio data from the data provided via bootsplash-branding-XXX packages customizing kiwi images with your own bootsplash works best if you build your own bootsplash-branding-XXX package because that directly hooks into the system SUSE developed for the kernel splash support Closing this now as I don't see a kiwi bug here -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
