Bug 15075 – Emerged bootsplash and now get unresolved symbols in my kernel

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Hi,

I've just built a new kernel with the bootsplash patches (from emerge) and
now I only get a bootlogo and not a screen.

Also, there are problems with the depmod command now.

<log>
root@rogue portage # depmod -e
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in

depmod:         pci_write_config_dword
depmod:         pci_write_config_word
depmod:         printk
</log>

Is there a way to fix these problems?

Thanks,
Luke.

What kernel are you currently running and is it a gentoo kernel (it looks like 
gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r1)? 
 
I haven't tried the patches against gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r1, I'll try them and see what happens.

I'm resolving this as "Won't Fix" because there is a newer version of the bootsplash 
patch that applies cleanly to 2.4.20 kernels.  OK, well it applies cleaner than using the 
bootsplash patch that was against a 2.4.19 kernel.
