Booting up with splash image ends in tty1


Ever since installing uvesafb and having a splash image on boot, the boot sequence boots into the window manager and then switches back to tty1. This is an easy fix by pressing ctr+alt+F7, but I cannot figure out how to make it different.

My grub boot lines are:

Code:
title=Gentoo Linux Splash

root (hd0,6)

kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.23-gentoo-r8-uvesafb root=/dev/sda7  video=uvesafb:1024x768-32,mtrr:3,ywrap splash=silent,theme:Acer4315 console=tty1 quiet

initrd /boot/Acer4315
I am running gentoo with KDE.

Thanks for any help ahead of time.

why don't you use root powers to create multiple menu entries to test?

eg

assume initial ram disk image line remains unchanged and kernel remains unchanged unless you have other kernels?
in which case post
[CODE]
ls /boot
[CODE]

2) so kernel lines and titles could be

title test1
kernel and root unchanged as above....splash=silent
initrd unchanged

titel test2
kernel and root unchanged as above...video=uvesafb:1024x768-32,mtrr:3,ywrap
initrd unchanged

got the idea?

Yes, I understand - This only happens with the splash screen boot lines - when I get home, I will post other boot lines that 1) work and 2) don't work but this is a new problem since I added the boot splash.

I have tried changing the boot lines without any success

I have several scripts that run at the end of the boot up process, but after disabling all of them - no luck either!

It is not compiz nor KDE as the same thing happens with fluxbox and xfce.

Maybe bug in X??? Probably not.

Once again, after booting up, going through KDM, entering the windowing manager for about 10 seconds - then goes back to TTY1 - when I press ctr+alt+F7, I go back to X and the window manager as if nothing happened. This is new since installing my splash image.

Could this be because of my splash (init image) - I made it myself, pieced from images of other splashes and my images. It works, but I have this issue. I will try to upload it to see if others have the same issue (those who are willing to try) and might try another splash image to see if it continues.

Any other ideas?

hi

just to be clear are you building your own kernel splash that appears when your boot messages scroll by?
or
a grub splash.

I do not have any experience in kernel splash so will have to leave that to others.

However, you may want to test your kernel line theme...matches the actual theme you have created.

I am building my own kernel splash. This is not a grub splash.
