After upgrading to splashutils-1.1.9.6-r1, the following message was displayed: Due to a change in the splash protocol you will have to rebuild all initrds created with splashutils < 1.1.9. This can be done with the splash_geninitramsfs script. However, I have been unable to find the splash_geninitramsfs script; no trace of it on Google either. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge splashutils 2.updatedb 3.locate splash_geninitramsfs Actual Results: The script could not be found on the machine. Expected Results: The script "splash_geninitramsfs" should have been found. I will post this information later; I am currently at work... :)
Are you sure it's not there -- /usr/bin/splash_geninitramfs? If you are, please attach /var/db/pkg/media-gfx/splashutils-1.1.9.6-r1/CONTENTS.
Ah.. I can see the problem now. There was a typo in the ebuild info messages. The script is called splash_geninitramfs, no splash_geninitramsfs. The ebuild has just been fixed.
Thank you for your prompt response and much appreciated help. I did find the file! Best regards, Patrick
