I have tried installing this package on two of my three machines and had no success with it. I have verified that I have frame buffer support compiled into the kernal and I have also even installed the patch that is listed in apt-get, but nothing seems to work. At one point I was able to get text size change during the boot up, but then machine locked up during the boot process. So I was wondering if anyone had any tips if they got it working on their machines. Eric
I had tried it once when I had newly installed Etch. But it didn't seem to work with my radeonfb driver. I tried with the generic vga16fb and I got the shutdown bootsplash image fine but never got the start boot. I read on bootsplash.org there's a kernel panic error on Debain Etch using bootsplash http://www.bootsplash.orgFAQ#Why_do_I_see_a_kernel_panic_on_my_.28Debian.29_system.3F I don't know if this has been solved yet or not. Seems debian people don't use bootsplash since they are geeks mostly so they like the messages scroll by ;-) Regards, Deboo -- Please don't Cc: me, I'm subscribed to the list.
