Description Ajay Gautam 2004-02-08 05:53:55 UTC

Guys,

I built a new gentoo system, and splashimage does not work. Have tried accessing forums, google, etc... but it seems that grub is broken in Gentoo.

I guess the Summary says it all.

Apologies to bug 8663 for copying their "summary" as it is ;)

Thanks
Ajay

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Install grub, reboot
Actual Results:  
No splash Image

Expected Results:  
Expecting splashimage

# emerge grub -p
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

I can confirm this. I've been trying to get it working for what seems like hours.

Comment 2 Christoph Gysin 2004-02-09 18:27:43 UTC

I also confirm this.

Though I'm not a grub maintainer, I took the liberty of adding the appopriate patch, I hope noone minds :)

Comment 4 Martin Klaffenboeck 2004-02-16 08:36:39 UTC

Hm.  I read all the messages and also the other bug.  But what does that mean for me?  Just wait to the next -r1 release of 0.94?  Or can I do something else?

You need to re-emerge grub again to get the boot splash fix.
IMHO I think it should have been updated to -r1 to propagate.

we'll have an -r1 with some stuff on it (including the splashimage fix).  I'm working on getting splashimage, gfxboot, as well as fixes for acl's and netbooting.  Sorry about this -- many things on my plate :(
