| Post subject: | R5A16 with bootsplash and progress bar working |
Hello all, Just wanted to help those of you who have a R5A16 version working and wish to have bootsplash progress bar enabled. I assume that you have a working bootsplash environment (I mean your silent image appears at boot but without the progress bar progressing (!) ) First you have to know that the kernel within this version is already patched for bootsplash. The only thing that is missing are the init scripts (/etc/init.d/rc and /etc/init.d/rcS) that should be patched: Code: echo "deb http://www.bootsplash.de/files/debian unstable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get install sysv-rc-bootsplash Or you can download the patches here: http://www.bootsplash.de/files/misc/rc-bootsplash.diff http://www.bootsplash.de/files/misc/rcS-bootsplash.diff and apply them : patch -p1 /etc/init.d/rc < rc-bootsplash.diff patch -p1 /etc/init.d/rc < rc-bootsplash.diff Then create the 'current' link to enable the progres bar: ln -s /etc/bootsplash/themes/KnoppMyth current And also, but I can not say if it works without it, you have to download the /sbin/splash.sh script which is missing on the original R5A16. Download it here : ftp://ftp.openbios.org/pub/bootsplash/r ... .7.tar.bz2 or apt-get it with Code: apt-get install bootsplash
Then extract the splash.sh script in the archive (Scripts/splash.sh) and move it to /sbin/splash.sh In case of pb, your original rc and rcS scripts are backed up at the same location (*.orig) For those of you who dont know how to setup bootsplash, I can also add the steps. Enjoy Hacen |

How does this fall under hardware tier 2? |

If you've installed KnoppMyth and had edit any file to get things working. Please explain what you did to get things working. I have installed KnoppMyth and edited bootsplash scripts to make it work. But if you think it should be somewhere else, just tell me because it is not clear. |

The forum header for this category is "Hardware Recommendations" So it would imply, Use this hardware and make these config changes and it works great.. However I'm sure someone using R5A16 may need this info.. |
