Looking at the patch, I can see why it fails to apply: You are trying to replace usplash functions! Unfortunately, Debian and Ubuntu both selected usplash as their default bootsplash package, so better try cooperating than fighting it. One suggestion from Petter Reinholdtsen (pere on IRC) is to put an alernative to the usplash scripts that sysv-rc expects to find, i.e. making bootsplash progress bar scripts emulate those from usplash. Then sysv-rc doesn't need to be patched anymore, because we emulate usplash scripts. -- Martin-Éric Racine http://q-funk.iki.fi
