Ok new boot option, why?
-bootsplash not support -rc* kernel (example 2.6.9-rc2 -rc3)
For all news and more info see gensplash author page.
INSTALLATION TO SLACKWARE (ONLY VERBOSE MODE IS TRUE (for now)) PLEASE I USE 1280X1024 AND ALL THIS INFO IS BASED UP THIS, IN CASE YOU USE OTHER RESOLUTION HAVE TO MODIFY:
1) /etc/bootsplash/pcxz/1280x1024.cfg
2) all images at /etc/bootsplash/pcxz/images/
3) OR ADD NEW THEME :-)
Step 1 10/10/2004
1) installpkg package
1a) patch kernel (I add fbsplash-0.9-r8-2.6.9-rc3.patch and is for kernel 2.6.9-rc3 cd /usr/src/linux patch -p1 < fbsplash-0.9-r8-2.6.9-rc3.patch
1b) make menuconfig or make xconfig go to graphics section and activate fbsplash (last option) see image.
2) execute " splash_geninitramfs -v -g /boot/fbsplash-1280x1024 -r 1280x1024 pcxz "
3) modify /etc/lilo.conf :
append="splash=verbose,theme:pcxz"
initrd=/boot/fbsplash-1280x1024
4) run lilo
OK IT'S ALL!!!
