after I installed development source 2.6.8-rc2 I want to play a little bit with the bootsplash and I got some errors (patching and compiling errors). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: so what I done: 1. emerging development-sources version 2.6.8_rc2 2. configuration my kernel (at first without any fb or bootsplash and so on) 3. compiling, installing and rebooting with my new kernel. ANYthing working perfect. 4. emerging bootsplash version 0.6.1-r4 5. anything seems to be ok. 6. starting bootsplash_patch and got the following errors: Actual Results: bootsplash_patch * Patching the kernel (branch: 2.6) in /usr/src/linux ... patching file drivers/char/keyboard.c Hunk #1 succeeded at 1058 (offset -1 lines). patching file drivers/char/n_tty.c patching file drivers/char/vt.c Hunk #2 succeeded at 3178 (offset 3 lines). patching file drivers/video/bootsplash/bootsplash.c patching file drivers/video/bootsplash/bootsplash.h patching file drivers/video/bootsplash/decode-jpg.c patching file drivers/video/bootsplash/decode-jpg.h patching file drivers/video/bootsplash/Kconfig patching file drivers/video/bootsplash/Makefile patching file drivers/video/bootsplash/render.c patching file drivers/video/console/fbcon.c Hunk #2 succeeded at 214 with fuzz 2 (offset 13 lines).

Expected Results: the patching process should be work! ;-) so after the patching process failed and I try to compile my kernel (with my old config but activating "bootsplash" option) I got the following error message: ----- snip ------- LD drivers/video/bootsplash/built-in.o CC drivers/video/console/dummycon.o CC drivers/video/console/vgacon.o CC drivers/video/console/fbcon.o drivers/video/console/fbcon.c: In function `fbcon_startup': drivers/video/console/fbcon.c:664: error: `logo' undeclared (first use in this function) drivers/video/console/fbcon.c:664: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once drivers/video/console/fbcon.c:664: error: for each function it appears in.) make[3]: *** [drivers/video/console/fbcon.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [drivers/video/console] Error 2 make[1]: *** [drivers/video] Error 2 make: *** [drivers] Error 2
Ermm, the thing is we don't really support the -rc kernel versions. But from what I can see there already is a bunch of fixes that have to be applied and this probably means -r5.. So I might just as well make a new patch, it will just take a while. Stay tuned :)
I'm sorry, but -r5 didn't get a patch for 2.6.8. Chances are there won't be a patch any time soon (but that's yet to be discussed). If you want to have bootsplash with 2.6.8, please have a look at fbsplash/gensplash/splashutils (http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/).
A patch for 2.6.8.1 has been added in bootsplash-0.6.1-r6.
