Description Michael Ax 2003-05-16 19:23:19 UTC

As is, you just can't DISABLE the splash-screens from your kernel command 
line.. 
this snippet makes bootsplash recognize the nofb token introduced on the live-
cd!


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot
2.bootsplash gives you a splash-screen.
3.bummer.

Actual Results:  
i say "aaargh!, this time i didn't want to commune with larry"

Expected Results:  
respect the presence of 'nofb' in the kernel commandline

HERE IS HOW TO FIX THIS:

Please add

  && ! grep /proc/cmdline nofb >/dev/null

to the start and the stop function's IF statements to make it so.

couple of problems here, first im guessing your typing 
"gentoo nofb" , when it should be "nofb" (this is in the docs) 
bootsplash will not work in non-framebuffer mode. 
 
Also, if you want fb with no bootsplash 
"gentoo splash=off" 
or at prompt echo off >/proc/splash
