When I redid a kernel just after updating splashutils I noticed a large difference in the size of the initramfs, 5.4mb previously to 1.5mb afterwards. I then noticed on reboot that spash image was starting much later. I redid just the initrd and saw this error message about no splash detected. I didn't know if I should file the bug under genkernel or splashutils. Also I'm not sure if something new is required here in terms of configuration. genkernel --install --splash=natural_gentoo initrd * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.10_pre3 * Running with options: --install --splash=livecd-2007.0 initrd * Linux Kernel 2.6.24-gentoo-r2 for x86_64... patching file Config.in patching file Makefile patching file include/applets.h patching file include/usage.h patching file mdadm/Config.in patching file mdadm/Makefile patching file mdadm/Makefile.in patching file mdadm/bitmap.h patching file mdadm/config.c patching file mdadm/dlink.c patching file mdadm/dlink.h patching file mdadm/md5.h patching file mdadm/md_p.h patching file mdadm/md_u.h patching file mdadm/mdadm.c patching file mdadm/mdadm.h patching file mdadm/mdassemble.c patching file mdadm/mdexamine.c patching file mdadm/sha1.c patching file mdadm/sha1.h patching file mdadm/super0.c patching file mdadm/super1.c patching file mdadm/util.c patching file mdadm/mdassemble.c patching file mdadm/super1.c patching file mdadm/super1.c * busybox: >> Configuring... * busybox: >> Using cache * initramfs: >> Initializing... * >> Appending base_layout cpio data... * >> Appending auxilary cpio data... * >> Appending busybox cpio data... * >> Appending modules cpio data... * >> Appending splash cpio data... * >> No splash detected; skipping! * WARNING...

Chris, I'm not sure why the splash line doesn't match up, I had been trying different themes to see if a particular theme caused the problem. I'm going to try again right now.

It may have been reading what was in my grub entry at the time, but irregardless, the proper size for the ramdisk is 5.4mb created by the earler version, what was just created was 1.5mb
Well, I'm getting exact same behaviour; the problem is gone after downgrading to 1.5.3.4 and comes back after upgrading to 1.5.4.
Question is , is this a genkernel bug or a splashutils bug,could this be the need for genkernel scripts to be adjusted for the new version of splashutils?
No idea; splashutils maintainer is CCed here anyway...
*** Bug 211713 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that bug 211713 is about the same issue. It contains a very simple fix. Please try it out and let us know if it works.
OK, this is now fixed in subversion and will show up in 3.4.10_pre4 or better...
Thats the fix, works perfect.
Leaving open until a release version is out with this fix...
Did you forget that you released 3.4.10_pre4 yesterday? :P
I have a similar problem with the current stable version of genkernel (3.4.9) and with splashutils-1.5.4-r1. Genkernel doesn't find splash_geninitramfs because it's located on a different path. The gen_initramfs.sh says (245. row) ... append_splash(){ if [ -x /usr/bin/splash_geninitramfs ] || [ -x /sbin/splash_geninitramfs ] then ... But the splash_geninitramfs is located here: /usr/sbin/splash_geninitramfs I know i'm not using the stable splashutils version. :)
Andrew, I did say a release version, as in 3.4.10 final. Balazs, that's kinda the point of this bug.
OK. This is resolved in genkernel 3.4.10, which is now in the tree and stable.
