Description Matthias Schwarzott gentoo-dev 2007-08-15 08:40:05 UTC
genkernel called with parameters "--gensplash initrd" prints out these suggested kernel-parameters:

* WARNING... WARNING... WARNING...
* Additional kernel cmdline arguments that *may* be required to boot properly...
* add "vga=791 splash=silent,theme:default CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 quiet" if you use a gensplash framebuffer ]

As I did some testing with baselayout (and according to Uberlord) CONSOLE causes some strange issues and only sets environment. Using console=tty1 is very much suggested. That really redirects /dev/console to the listed device.

Attached patch will change it.

I've added this to SVN now... thanks!

It'll show up in genkernel 3.4.9_pre1 and above.

Please test genkernel 3.4.9_prer1 or better.  This should be fixed now.

Looks fine to me.
