Bug 96045 – No boot progress bar splashutils-1.1.9.6-r1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Robert Cole 2005-06-14 01:15:33 UTC]

Not sure when the problem came up, searched and was unable to find any info. 
I do know it is with both splashutils-1.1.9.6 and -r1. Previous versions worked
fine. This time I did however have to add a kernel option of CONSOLE=/dev/tty1.
Rebooting shows the progress bar just fine. Booting up shows the screen w/out
any progress bar/%. Tried changing ttys splash kernal line. However, if say I'm
using splash=xxx,tty:11, if i change to tty1, then change back to tty11, it
shows the progress bar just fine. Nothing major, just a mild annoyance that I
can't figure out.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge splashutils
2.reboot
3.

Actual Results:  
no progress bar while booting.

Expected Results:  
Progress bar while booting.

Could you please paste your '/proc/cmdline'?
Have you tried rebuilding your initramfs image after installing
splashutils-1.1.9.6(-r1)?

root=/dev/hda1 ramdisk=8192
video=vesafb-tng:ywrap,pmipal,1280x1024-32@85,vtotal:128
splash=silent,fadein,theme:dragonmatrix quiet gentoo=udev,nodevfs CONSOLE=/dev/tty1

Seems the 'quiet' part is what it was, I added that and it works fine now.

[Comment 3 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) 2005-06-25 16:28:12 UTC]

Great :) BTW: it should be
'video=vesafb:ywrap,pmipal,1280x1024-32@85,vtotal:128' and not
'video=vesafb-tng:...'.

Marking as 'invalid' since the bug was about a configuration issue.
