Holly~ Maybe you can get this to work with this page... http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash#Option_1:_Compiling_The_initramfs_Imag e_Directly_Into_The_Kernel
There's a section somewhere in here that talks about that exact error.

Adapting your methodology-- because I don't use genkernel-- in combination with the wiki how-to, I compiled the initramfs into the kernel, and the kernel does boot with the livecd theme-- but the theme itself does not appear. This is an improvement, actually, as previously I would get a kernel panic with the silent theme selected. Now I just get the same message that I got previously with the verbose splash: no 8bb picture selected in config file (twice) could not find silent image. Haven't tried verbose yet as I've compiled this kernel 5 times today and I'd really like to give the new ati drivers a spin for a while. I have: - copied most of the (working, afaik) emergence config file to the livecd config file; - converted the images to 8bit and saved them with the proper names; - put the full path to the images in the config file; - converted the "32-bit" images from .png to .jpg None of it works. The images cannot be found. I really don't know what else I can do, nor even what to file for a bug, as I have no clue what's wrong. I've looked in the forums (nothing), and the only partially relevant bug on b.g.o was marked invalid, being about a 'non-standard' resolution (1280x800), whereas my issue is with a standard resolution (1280x1024). I really don't want to bother Spock with this, since it seems to be a problem limited to me-- but honestly, what could it be? Holly P.S, oh btw, thanks for the instructions about setting up a GRUB theme (which I have done, although using different instructions from yours, as yours didn't mention that the image must be created with certain constraints), but what I had said was that I needed a matching *GDM* theme :) . Not that it matters, since I have no splash to tie the GRUB theme to any future matching GDM theme anyway.... H. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
