im running debian (etch) on a 2.6.12 kernel, which i just recompiled so i could use bootsplash. i backed up my initrd file and then did
Quote:
splash -s -f /etc/bootsplash/themes/current/config/bootsplash-1024x768.cfg > /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-1-k7
|
. when i rebooted, i got my pretty bootsplash theme, but i also got this:
Quote:
RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM diskimage starting at 0
VFS: CAnnot open root device "hda6" or unknown block (0,6)
Please append a correct root= boot option
Kernel panic- no suncing: VFS: unable to mount fs on unknown - block
(0,6)

pointing grub to my backup initrd file solves the problem, but then i dont get the nice debblue background.
so whats the problem? the splash command above obviously isnt making a working initrd file, but why not? and how do i get past this problem? google has shown me that lots of people have had this problem, but no one has given any solutions...
