recompiled kernel, no bootsplash


I recently recompiled my kernel, and then afterwards (after adding all boot parameters, yes I patched it) my bootsplash isn't working. I've checked and rechecked to make sure I had all the things necessary compiled into my kernel, and I've made sure all of my boot parameters are correct. Any ideas?

Can you post the output from "dmesg". That should usually help pinpoint the problem.

Did you check /boot/grub/menu.lst?

ok, I figured out what the problem was. For whatever reason, I aparently compiled the kernel with all the defaults, and it wasn't patched. So I then recompiled and made sure I had everything correct and it still won't work. I still have to get dmesg for you. Thanks in advance

Sorry, I missed your dmesg reply.

It looks like the framebuffer is having problems.
vesafb: abort, cannot reserve video memory at 0xe0000000

Did you recompile a different kernel version? What graphics card do you have?

Graphics card is an ATI Radeon IGP 320M, I recompiled using kernel source 2.6.8-(12, I think) from the debian sarge servers. Any thoughts?

I have read elsewhere that some ATI cards like to have high memory support but it seems an odd fix to me.

Is this the same kernel version that you had working with bootsplash previously?

yeah, I was using 2.6.8(-10, I think) earlier, would the -10 vs. -12 have anyting to do with it? I didn't exactly understand what you meant by cards liking to have high memory support, and why that would affect my bootsplash.

Did you just recompile using an existing .config file or create one from scratch?

I created one from scratch but I made sure I had all the options compiled in. Any ideas?

I would tend to try using your old .config file and just run make oldconfig to update it. It could just be that the ati driver is broken in this release.

I've never messed around with bootsplash's but it looks like from your dmesg that its turned off...
