Bug 42121 – gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.3 fails to boot due to bootsplash

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christopher Rude 2004-02-19 01:30:32 UTC]

Running gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.3 with bootsplash enabled I have a hard lock after the kernel loads fd0 (compiled in). Rebuilding the kernel without bootsplash and the system boots fine. I am running SMP

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.enable bootsplash in kernel config
2.build & install kernel
3.reboot

Actual Results:  
kernel hard locks after fd0 loads (compiled in) 

Expected Results:  
functional boot splash enabled kernel

same here, however, I have not yet tested with a non bootsplash kernel

[Comment 2 Kostas Petrakis 2004-02-19 06:59:34 UTC]

Same here with bootsplash kernel hangs...disabled initrd from the lilo conf and also removed bootsplash from runlevels and 2.6.3 booted without any problems.

[Comment 3 Imad R. Faiad 2004-02-19 08:00:56 UTC]

recompiled the kernel with no bootsplash, this time it freezes
at bringing up eth0, nic is e1000.
not sure if it's to do with the initrd
back to 2.6.1-gentoo-r1

kernel oops

I'm having this problem too. Here's my kernel oops.

[Comment 5 John Mylchreest (RETIRED) 2004-02-19 14:07:32 UTC]

2.6.3-r1 has now been comitted to replace 2.6.3 in the tree.
it fixes bootsplash (althoguh does cause a non-fatal traceback which i shall look into) and reverts the e1000 interrupt assertions which caused it to break in 2.6.3-rc1.
Hopwfully this should solve all current issues, please give it a whirl.
If you have problems please re-open this bug.

thanks... works for me :)

[Comment 7 Imad R. Faiad 2004-02-20 01:37:06 UTC]

the r1 ebuild works fine so far, with bootsplash and all.
many thanks
