There will be a new initscripts-gensplash pkg out today which is updated to the latest initscripts

Somewhere I've read that one day the archck kernel may will become a maintained package in extra. Maybe as a replacement for kernel-ck. Any news about that?

Iphitus;
In past year, the order in which the snd-usb-audio was entered in modules determined whether it responded and established kde mixer option. The arch boot has it entered such as to provide correct response thru kde.
Assuming, assuming...archck sets up the same arrangement and has the same kde, it should be properly connected with correct driver. In fact, kde mixer has the usb option appearing.
In arch, USB audio is initiated automatically during kde start-up.
The cmipci mixer option rules in archck. Selection of USB mixer is ineffective and it isn't activated during kde startup.
Perhaps...the order of module loading in archck is different?
Archck is doing well otherwise

Thanks for the kernel, mate!
Prediction...This year will be a very odd year!

hello,
i cannot make the "silent" mode working. "verbose" is ok, I have a background for # and everything is fine.
# (2) Arch Linux Archck Kernel
title Arch Linux Archck Kernel
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26archck root=/dev/hda6 ro video=vesafb:ywrap,mttr,1024x768-32@70 splash=silent,theme:darch
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.15-archck.img
if I start like that, the splash screen comes up with logo, progress bar and "initalizing kernel", and then a black screen.

Spot the difference ....

didn't change anything... still is crashing after "initializing kernel"...
edit: well, it's not crashing , I have to press alt+1 to go to vc1, and then it works. Could it be done automatically?

what's in your bootloader config?
Have you updated you rc.conf..... it relies on the new one , if you try with the old rc.conf it will not work
Pliz what do you mean ?
I for exemple have added gensplash to the Dameons () line, and that's all I've done.
BTW i've followed wiki & _gandalf exemple on my Dell Latitude 400 (ati 4mb) & boot is pretty now still, how comes it won't show any line nor prompt as soon as started to boot ?
I have to log in & startx blindly to have some usable I/O device (i.e. the screen )

isn't it the same as i said above? there is a blank screen after splash, and the progress bar doesn't make any 'progress'

do you have initscripts-gensplash installed or silent wont work..

i completely forgot about it, thx, now it works... :oops:

I guess I've followed every single wiki i've found, but still can't get any splash when booting. I tryed with both grub and lilo and i also installed initscripts-gensplash.
Actually i use a graphical lilo (it works like a charm!!), but after that i get the error message saying
You have passed an undefined mode number
then some random text and display freezes. X is loaded well, but every console stay with that text. I never get the image from fbsplash, wherever i try silent or verbose mode.
/var/log/errors.log gives me this
Jan 22 02:18:57 myhost vesafb: mode switch failed (eax: 0x14f)
Jan 22 02:18:59 myhost dhcpcd[3526]: terminating on signal 15
Jan 22 11:31:05 myhost vesafb: mode switch failed (eax: 0x14f)
This is my actual /etc/lilo.conf, but i modified it many many times (i used grub before with same results). This is what i got from a gentoo wiki, a little different of seen in arch's wiki.

This is what hwd says about my video card (just an integrated one)
VGA compatible controller
vesa : S3 Inc.|VT8751 [ProSavageDDR P4M266] VGA Controller
However, i use savage driver instead of vesa with xorg.
I would really appreciate some help to get this fully working. I really like kernel-archck and will switch to reiser4 soon, but this fbsplash just gave headache.
I forgot to say that i have this whole stuff (archck kernel and fbsplash) working in other computer for a week or so and i guess i did same on both of them. (???)

Woaahhh!!!! out of the mists a logo appears ;-)

Yuh, you should get that logo if you dont use fbsplash. Though for some reason its appearing twice here, and I suspect it is causing probs with fbsplash

iph, two logos appear because you have dual processors.

I passed to Testing release (to be with Xorg 7) but there's something weird with kernel26archck and IPW2200
using kernel26archck i didn't have wireless connection then
[wael@nasreddine pkg]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/network restart
:: Stopping Network [DONE]
:: Starting Network [BUSY] Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument.
but using kernel26arch i do have internet, they are both IPW2200 V.1.0.8 i tried 1.0.10 (which i was running it on archck b4 updating the system) and it didn't work neither, what could be the problem?
thx

After a little effort, I finally got silent splash working. The only problem is it doesn't work consistently. Half of the time it works, the other half of the time a black screen comes up and I get nothing. As far as I can tell I have everything configured correctly, and the fact that it sometimes works seems to confirm this. I have seen that a few others have gotten this black screen but has anyone else seen splash work intermittently?
Offline
Gandalf: Use the ipw2200 drivers that come with archck, not a seperate package.
RobbeR49: please tell us what you have done to try and make it work, so that I can investigate further.
Cerebral, i never knew that, lol. I thought it was a wierd bug of some sort.
Offline
99% of people who have problems with fbsplash/gensplash have misconfigured settings - see the gensplash thread for a good "expansion" of the usual problems
I think I should also stress that we are now working in a broader initramfs env than before so more problems may have been inherited. I'm just hoping to make sure we all have the basics right. Though the post below would seem to suggest an "issue"
Offline
I have the newest archck (2.6.15.archck2-4). mkinitramfs, gensplashutils, and initscripts-gensplash.
initscripts-gensplash did overwrite my rc.conf, I took the rc.conf.pacsave and manually added the verboseonfail section for gensplash, also gensplash was added to daemons list.
nothing special in my grub config:
video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-32@70 splash=silent,theme:darch console=tty1 quiet
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.15-archck.img
I looked in mkinitramfs.conf, everything looked ok
and I ran:
mkinitramfs kernel_version=2.6.15-archck
and as far as I can remember, that was it. It worked well the first few times, then stopped working and I got a black screen, then it worked a few more times after not applying any changes to it. I have also had problems getting a black screen on rebooting as well, only in archck and also really without any rhyme or reason, although it seems to happen more when I am in X than when I type reboot in a VC.

Just a heads up from the ML:
ALL 2.6.15-ck1 and 2.6.15-ck2 users, a mismerge bug causing serious
degradation to performance was noted by Bren (thanks!) on the mailing list.I recommend everyone upgrade with the patch here:
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.1 … prio.patch
which is referred to as hotfix on my http://kernel.kolivas.org homepage
Sorry about any inconvenience. This will be rolled into a ck3 in the future.
Cheers,
Con
I assume this effects archck as well, since it uses the ck patchset.

I recommend everyone upgrade with the patch here:
Well, I've applied it and rebuilt, and I'd love to say it makes a noticeable difference, but it doesn't - maybe you need to be iphitus to see it.

Is anyone else having instability with the latest archck and ati-drivers? Perhaps the ati-drivers are just too much out of date, but I constantly get:

Which is referred a few times as a problem with fglrx. So I guess I should knock at ati-drivers, but surely I'm not the only one using archk with ati-drivers?
One of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that, lacking zero,
they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs.
Offline
You should be able to spot some posts of me in the thread with the same issues concerning ATI and archck 2.6.15
But it's not archck related, every 2.6.15 kernel has problems with the ati drivers.
More info here
maybe it would be nice if iphitus included the patch in the pkgbuild for ati in community?

Oops, didn't search properly. Thanks for the pointer though.

So here is my little problem with latest archck kernel: I don't see the background image while booting. But framebuffer resolution is ok. And when it comes to the gensplash daemon the background appears. Hm.
