Okay, so I'm working on getting splashy to appear and it doesn't want to. Is there something I did wrong in my config files?
I did the following:
Downloaded Splashy from AUR, ran makepkg on it, and installed it with pacman -U
Added i915 to MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf
Added splashy to HOOKS after base, udev, and autodetect
Now it looks like this:
# vim:set ft=sh # MODULES # The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are # run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules # in this array. For instance: # MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs" MODULES="i915" # BINARIES # This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may # wish into the CPIO image. This is run first, so it may be used to # override the actual binaries used in a given hook. # (Existing files are NOT overwritten if already added) # BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries BINARIES="" # FILES # This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added # as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files. # Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options # like so: # FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf" FILES="" # HOOKS # This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the # modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time. # Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the # order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for # help on a given hook. # 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing. # 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules # 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES # Examples: ## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above. ## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed. # HOOKS="base" # ## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should ## work as a sane default # HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems" # ## This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is ## used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem. # HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems" # ## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems. ## No autodetection is done. # HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems" # ## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS. ## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices. # HOOKS="base udev pata mdadm encrypt filesystems" # ## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device. # HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems" HOOKS="base udev autodetect splashy pata scsi sata filesystems usbinput" # COMPRESSION # Use this to compress the initramfs image. With kernels earlier than # 2.6.30, only gzip is supported, which is also the default. Newer kernels # support gzip, bzip2 and lzma. Kernels 2.6.38 and later support xz # compression. #COMPRESSION="gzip" #COMPRESSION="bzip2" #COMPRESSION="lzma" #COMPRESSION="xz" #COMPRESSION="lzop" # COMPRESSION_OPTIONS # Additional options for the compressor #COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=""
Then I ran:
pacman -S mkinitcpio
mkinitcpio -p linux
It recompiled perfectly.
I then added SPLASH="splashy" to the end of my rc.conf

Added to /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT quiet splash as such:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch Linux" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" # Preload both GPT and MBR modules so that they are not missed GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="part_gpt part_msdos" # Uncomment to enable Hidden Menu, and optionally hide the timeout count #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=5 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true # Uncomment to use basic console GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT=console # Uncomment to disable graphical terminal #GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=console # The resolution used on graphical terminal # note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE # you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo' GRUB_GFXMODE=auto # Uncomment to allow the kernel use the same resolution used by grub GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep # Uncomment if you want GRUB to pass to the Linux kernel the old parameter # format "root=/dev/xxx" instead of "root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx" #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true # Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true # Uncomment and set to the desired menu colors.

Ran grub-makecfg -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg (i had installed grub2 way before all this)
Finally, I modified the splashy xml file as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- Automatically generated by splashy_config. Do not edit --> <splashy> <!-- themes directory: conventional path /usr/share/splashy/themes --> <themes>/usr/share/splashy/themes</themes> <!-- current theme could be relative the themes defined above or full path --> <current_theme>archlinux-deep-aurora</current_theme> <!-- full path to theme to fall back in case of problems. DO NOT CHANGE --> <default_theme>/usr/share/splashy/themes/default</default_theme> <pid>/etc/splashy/splashy.pid</pid> </splashy>
Rebooted! And it shows a blinking cursor at the boot and not the splash screen. I'm thinking I had to do something wrong here. It still boots perfectly, but there is no splash screen. I also converted all .jpg files to .png files in the splashy theme folder I chose.

Any ideas on this? After a reboot and retry, it is still like this
