compiling a stock kernel with "genkernel all" works fine. while trying to include gensplash using "genkernel --gensplash all" gives the following error: * ERROR: Failed to compile the "bzImage" target... * -- Grepping log... -- SCSI generic support (CHR_DEV_SG) [Y/n/m/?] y * * Some SCSI devices (e.g. CD jukebox) support multiple LUNs * Probe all LUNs on each SCSI device (SCSI_MULTI_LUN) [Y/n/?] y Verbose SCSI error reporting (kernel size +=12K) (SCSI_CONSTANTS) [N/y/?] n -- System is too big.

a small thing to note: my previous kernel was compiled successfully using genkernel 3.1.0c even with the --genkernel flag. looks like the bug got introduced in a later version.
Still a problem with genkernel 3.1.1b
Try not putting all the gensplash themes in one initramfs image or unless you are using the genkernel initrd for something specific, try not using genkernel and have splash_geninitramfs make seperate initramfs images for the different themes and have seperate entries for the different themes in your grub.conf file.
*** Bug 85713 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The problem is still there using genkernel-3.1.6...
Please try genkernel-3.2.0_pre5 which will generate an initramfs and the splash will be external of the kernel image.
It builds now. Thank you
Btw, you can also use a little hack to make genkernel build a smaller image: call it with something like --gensplash="default -r 1024x768" this will force it to build just that specific resolution, thus resulting in a smaller system. I learned that after noticing at my expenses that a 15Mb /boot partition becomes too small to hold more than three kernels... ;-)

To me it makes no sense to include all splash resolutions into a kernel when you never change your boot up resolution.
this should be taken care of in genkernel-3.2.0 as plasmaroo stated. gensplash is external to the kernel in this version. As we are mainly supporting 2.6 kernels from now on they may or may not work in the future. We will accept patches to fix this issue in 2.4 kernels but dont plan on working on it primarily.
ehh... gensplash doesn't work on 2.4, at all...
3.2.1 is in the tree and stable, closing bug as fixed. Reopen if there are any issues. Thanks!
