Hi folks,

I've just upgraded from MDK 10.0 Official to 10.1 Official via urpmi. Everything's working fine except for the FB boot and shutdown screen. The progress bar doesn't seem to be updated when the system is booting or shuttind down. Anyone knows what I missed?


Thanks!

If I remember correctly, the programme used to generate these progress bars (bootsplash) underwent some changes between the two Mandrake versions. It would sound to me like the two versions are conflicting somewhere.

If I were you, I would look for some files in /usr/share/bootsplash and try running makebootsplash (or whatever it's called). What it should do is create (or re-create) the correct bootsplash info in your initial ram disk (initrd) file. Since your current setup allows you to boot even if it doesn't do a pretty progress bar, I would make a backup copy of your initrd files, which can be found in /boot.
