Bug #145
Updated by robgar about 10 years ago
Hi, I've tried to enable a bootsplash with 1.5.2 and 1.5.3, following http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=splash§ion=4, but it didn't work. This is an excerpt of my /boot/defaults/loader.conf: [..] splash_bmp_load="YES" splash_pcx_load="NO" vesa_load="YES" bitmap_load="YES" bitmap_name="splash.bmp" bitmap_type="splash_image_data" [..] module_path="/;/boot;/modules" [..] The bootsplash bitmap is in place, too: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 481078 Apr 14 16:07 /boot/splash.bmp When I boot, I didn't get a bootsplash. I get, as expected, the selection menu for DFly's boot options (e. g. with acpi, without acpi, ...) and after selecting one, I get the usual boot messages on screen. The necessary modules are loaded at boot time: Id Refs Address Size Name 1 8 0xc0100000 400a08 kernel 2 1 0xc0501000 3068 splash_bmp.ko 3 1 0xc0505000 55b8 vesa.ko 4 1 0xc0580000 5ed0 snd_ich.ko 5 2 0xc0586000 1d884 snd_pcm.ko 6 1 0xc05a4000 c2c8 if_iwi.ko 7 1 0xc05b1000 59064 acpi.ko The problem was already reported a year ago (http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/bugs/2004-04/msg00138.html), but obviously with no solution, so take this as a reminder ;-) Thomas
