I have followed guidelines in wiki that someone has very kindly written. Reverting back to older kernel the splash screen works as expected. I've tried this on 2 machines. I have seen somewhere that a patch is added to kernel to help this. Is this included in .39? I believe the issue maybe due to /sbin/fbcondecor_helper in initrd but not really too sure. My debugging skills are lacking somewhat. Has anyone else experienced this and can anyone offer an alternative method for producing splash. I am currently using vesafb and splash_geninitramfs to create splash screens? -- John D Maunder john@articwolf.myzen.co.uk
