I patched my current kernel (2.4.21-pre5-ac1) using the instructions specified by the bootsplash-0.4 post_install information. It claimed to have patched correctly, so I configured the kernel as specified. (I will attach a copy of my .config) Now when I run 'splash -s -u 0 /usr/share/bootsplash-0.4/gentoo-console-1024x768.cfg', I get the following error: /proc/splash: No such file or directory Also as a sanity check, I attempted to 'cat /proc/splash' which returned the same error. I've recompiled the kernel on several occasions, and I can't seem to find the problem, any assistance would be much appreciated! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ac-sources (2.4.21_pre5-r1) 2. emerge bootsplash (0.4) 3. Patch, configure, compile, reboot 4. Run 'splash' to set console image Actual Results: I got the following error: /proc/pci: No such file or directory Expected Results: 1. Immediately return to prompt 2. After switching back and forth between consoles, show new FB console image Portage 2.0.47-r8 (default-x86-1.4, [unavailable], glibc-2.3.2_pre1-r0) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.21-pre5-ac1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ COMPILER="gcc3" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
Created attachment 8986 [details] Kernel config Here is the kernel config that I used to compile the problematic version of the kernel. If I have all the proper options, then I believe that this version of the kernel does not get patched properly.
For reference, here is my gcc version. * sys-devel/gcc Latest version installed: 3.2.2-r1

This seems to be only a problem with ac-sources, as I tried with gentoo-sources and had no problem.
Tired of seeing this in my buglist. I've already moved onto a different kernel. Closing.
Well, gentoo-dev-sources has the problem now. I get that using splash. Unless I've done something wrong. I've followed the hints and tips on the Gentoo forum and it doesn't work. I don't get a bootsplash when I startup, can't get one on the console, and don't get a shutdown one. * media-gfx/bootsplash Latest version available: 0.6-r16 Latest version installed: 0.6-r16 Size of downloaded files: 427 kB Homepage: http://www.bootsplash.org/ http://linux.tkdack.com/ Description: Graphical backgrounds for frame buffer consoles License: GPL-2
Gentoo-dev-sources-2.9 fixes the problem.
gentoo-dev-sources-2.9 ??? Well, it
gentoo-dev-sources-2.9 ??? Well, it´s Sep 29 and the last gentoo-dev-sources here is 2.6.8... Am I missing something ? By the way: I´m having the same problem with gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8... The same "/proc/splash" thing... Just to let you guys aware of that...
