Hi, I've just built a new kernel with the bootsplash patches (from emerge) and now I only get a bootlogo and not a screen. Also, there are problems with the depmod command now. <log> root@rogue portage # depmod -e depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r1/misc/svgalib_helper.o depmod: pci_write_config_byte depmod: devfs_unregister_chrdev depmod: remap_page_range depmod: __wake_up depmod: __generic_copy_from_user depmod: devfs_mk_symlink depmod: kmalloc depmod: pci_find_class depmod: devfs_mk_dir depmod: pci_read_config_byte depmod: devfs_auto_unregister depmod: boot_cpu_data depmod: pcibios_present depmod: free_irq depmod: pci_read_config_dword depmod: devfs_unregister depmod: __ioremap depmod: pci_read_config_word depmod: interruptible_sleep_on depmod: kfree depmod: request_irq depmod: devfs_register_chrdev depmod: devfs_register_series depmod: pci_write_config_dword depmod: pci_write_config_word depmod: printk </log> Is there a way to fix these problems? Thanks, Luke. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above 2. 3. Actual Results: No bootsplash screen! Expected Results: Bootsplash screen? The kernel? ;-P
What kernel are you currently running and is it a gentoo kernel (it looks like gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r1)? I haven't tried the patches against gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r1, I'll try them and see what happens.
I'm resolving this as "Won't Fix" because there is a newer version of the bootsplash patch that applies cleanly to 2.4.20 kernels. OK, well it applies cleaner than using the bootsplash patch that was against a 2.4.19 kernel.
