If you're running splashutils-0.9.1, try upgrading to 1.1.9.6-r1. Even if you're already running 1.1.9.6, remerge splashutils. The recompilation is necessary because of the kernel version switch (2.6.11 -> 2.6.12) and the related fbsplash switch (0.9.1 -> 0.9.2). After you remerge splashutils, make sure you rebuild the initrd. If you decide to go for 1.1.9.6, make sure you carefully read the info messages displayed by the ebuild. It now works perfectly. I was indeed running splashutils-0.9.1 so I upgraded to splashutils-1.1.9.6-r1 and followed instructions at end of ebuild. I rebuilt the initrd file and it worked right away. Thanks a lot. Will splashutils now have to be rebuilt on every kernel upgrade? Nope, it's only a pre-2.6.12 -> 2.6.12 migration thing (or: fbsplash pre-0.9.2 -> 0.9.2 migration to be more precise). |
