Re: splashy in sid
> The only difference I can spot is the 'splash' which I don't have
Initially I also didn't have it. As it didn't work, I saw in ubuntu
forums with this addition to kernel option. Hence I added it.
Even then no use.
When you boot in to Debian, what exactly do you see? Is there any comment made with the word splashy in it?
Also, given you're kernel name, I assume that you have compiled it yourself. Are you sure that you have done it in such a way as to allow a boot splash? (I'm not sure what you would need to compile in to a kernel for splashy as I've not yet compiled a kernel myself. It also seems to me that if you do indeed compile your own, you may wish to use bootsplash itself as it gives you many more themes in addition to a picture in the background of your virtual console.) Finally, what is the size of your monitor and what is the resolution your generally use?
By the way, after going through my archive, I noted that you had posted that splashy did work for you, minus the progress bar. What happened? Did it simply die one day? Have you changed the configuration files in the /etc/splashy folder?
Hopefully we can get your situation fixed once and for all.
