hey - spent the last 3 days trying to get this to work, and no luck.
I built a custom kernel using this howto:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … n_with_ABS
and added in the patch for fbcondecor from the website:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/fbcondecor/
I then also installed (after following various howtos and tutorials, all saying different things) fbsplash from the AUR, and initscripts-splash from the community repo.
I now get a kernel panic when i try and boot into the new kernel... It says something along the lines of "nuking initramfs contents... not empty, panic".
There must be an easier way of getting a background for my console, as thats all I really wanted to do. The splash screen would be a nice bonus.
Here are various file details:
the menu.lst section
# (0) My Arch Kernel
title arch-shearn89
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-shearn89\
root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/af4c95d7-4378-46ea-875b-8dec744ce605 ro\
vga=792 splash=verbose,kdgraphics,theme:darch console=tty1
initrd /boot/kernel26-shearn89.imgmy mkinitcpio.conf hooks line:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect sata keymap fbsplash filesystems"
FBTHEMES="darch"
FBRES="1024x768"and the last 2 lines of rc.conf:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network gensplash @hal !netfs @alsa @crond !net-profiles @lastfmsubmitd @lastmp avahi-daemon)
SPLASH="fbsplash"Any help/info would be appreciated. If this doesn't work i'll try the fbcondecor patch from the aur, but i'd like to get this to work so i can add in other tweaks as i find them, and build up my own kernel patchset...

fbsplash and initscripts-splash from AUR are broken/out of date. as far as i know there is currently no way to get fbsplash working in arch.

ah okay... cheers. I'll try building from source from the official website...
