Great, really looking forward to trying this out! Have you noticed any

Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right place to post it -- about 6 years ago I
put together a module which displays an ASCII splash screen on boot
(rather than the graphical splash_pcx and splash_bmp modules). We have
been running it in production since that time without issue.
With the the code s

Hi all,
I recently dusted off an old patch I put together years ago which adds
a new splash_txt decoder module for the splash(4) boot splash screen.
The module allows you to use a binary-format ASCII drawing (80x25) as
a boot splash screen rather than the graphical modes offered by
splash_bmp and
The Intel boards all in all tend to be pretty well supported... we run
a number of S3200SHL boards (about to be EOL'd I believe) and older
S2000 series in production without any hitches. The basic Intel
soft-RAID on the entry level boards should be avoided (use gmirror or
similar if need be).
