bootsplash


Hi,

I'm trying to set up bootsplash on my Dell Optiplex gx110.

I installed debian sarge and want to migrate to kernel 2.6.7.
I applied the patch to the kernel, compiled it using the make-kpkg
method. Next I rebooted and (re)configured the bootsplash.
After another reboot everything should work, but I got following
errors:

On boot a choice between different text modi is offered.

Inserting an image on the fly with
splash - -u /etc/bootsplash/themes/...
results in the error
/proc/splash: No such file or directory

There is a i810 graphics chip onboard, which I compiled intop the
kernel (marked experimental).

Thanks for your help!

There is a solution: you should be in 24 bits color mode (eg, 791, not 792 for 1024x768)
