After emerging splashutils and doing - 

splash_geninitramfs -v -g /boot/fbsplash-livecd-2005.1-1024x768 -r 1024x768
livecd-2005.1 && rc-update add splash default

 

a reboot of the system produces - 

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(1,0)

 

Any input is appreciated.  Everything else in the basic install is running
great!

I get a kernel panic when trying to use the livecd theme (any of them)
as a silent splash, using it as a verbose splash gives another error,
iirc (you still can't boot, though, as now that I think about it, it's
because there's no 8bb picture found or something).

The only splash theme that seems to work correctly, ime, is emergence.
That seems to work in either silent (no progressbar, though), or verbose
(which is how I use it).

Sorry if emergence isn't your fave (it's not mine, but I haven't had the
time to either hack the livecd theme or convert some bootsplash theme
into working).

HTH,
Holly
