no kernel requires you to set CONSOLE Taken right from splashutils ebuild: ewarn "It is required that you add 'quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1' to your kernel" ewarn "command line parameters." echo "" einfo "After these modifications, the relevant part of the kernel command" einfo "line might look like:" einfo " splash=silent,fadein,theme:emergence quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1" So... kernel 2.6.12 needs it to use fbsplash. sorry I forgot to tell about fbsplash. i blame the misbehavior on fbsplash then feel free to toss back spock ;) The misbehaviour is not in fbsplash, it's in the initscripts/daemons, as explained here: http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/troubleshooting.php#ctty and, for example, in bug #86550. Sure, removing CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 from the kernel command line will make the problem go away, but IMO it's like evading solving the real problem by saying "if it doesn't work, don't use it". *** Bug 100446 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** thanks for the explanation now we just need to file bugs for specific apps ... i'll take care of Bug 86562 now that i know why it's needed Not sure if this will fix it, but I want to remember changing: ----- splash=silent,fadein,theme:gechi ----- to: ----- splash=silent,fadein,theme:gechi,tty:11 ----- worked for me when I played with fbsplash. |
