Bootslash in hi-res framebuffer
 
I posted this in the MDK forum but haven't gotten any responses so here I am. I recently installed MDK 10.0 (Official) with bootsplash support but the bootscreens only work in 800x600. As soon as I boot into a higher FB mode, the bootsplash images don't show up even though the images and the config files exist in the correct paths. The permissions are ok too. Is there a limit on the size of the image that initrd.img can handle?

TIA :D

Not that I'm aware of. I have been using 1280x1024 bootsplashes without problems, but now I use 1024x768 on all my computers. Just generate a new initrd image for the new resolution.

This thread is aimed at Gentoo but the basic usage of the splash program is the same no matter what distribution you run.

I double and triple checked that all the files in the correct paths, ran
Code:
/sbin/splash -s -f /etc/bootsplash/themes/current/config/bootsplash-1024x768.cfg > /boot/initrd-1024x768
added an entry in /etc/lilo.conf
Code:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
        label="linux1024"
        root=/dev/hdb5
        initrd=/boot/initrd-1024x768
        append="devfs=mount acpi=ht splash=silent"
        vga=791
        read-only
ran "lilo", rebooted using the linux1024 entry and still no graphic. It boots in framebuffer mode because I see the Mandrake star in the top left corner as it's loading stuff. Should I try grub?
