[SOLVED] Errors and warning while updating kernels

Hi,

By some time ago I'm getting this errors and warnings everytime I update the kernel:

>>> Generating initial ramdisk, using mkinitcpio.  Please wait...
==> Building image from preset: 'default'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img

  -> Running build hook: [base]

==> Creating gzip initcpio image: /boot/initramfs-linux.img
==> WARNING: errors were encountered during the build. The image may not be complete.

Even if the system still boots, I'd like to solve this warning but I didn't found nothing about this on Google.  What could be the problem?

Re: [SOLVED] Errors and warning while updating kernels

Not very familiar with fbsplash (or splashscreens in general for that matter), but what happens if you don't include the "fbsplash" hook when generating a new initramfs?

If this makes the error go away, perhaps try rebuilding fbsplash against the new kernel, throw the hook back in and regen your initramfs again.

Well, updating fbsplash seems to solve this. I'm wondering how I didn't think about this before...

Thanks anyway

Good to hear it's all running fine again.
