[Morphix-devel] bootsplash

[Basanta s. <bas...@gm...>]

Dear list,
Has there been any release of basemod after amalthea that has
bootsplash patched kernel? I check the oldest and the latest basemod
in autobuilds  and they don't have bootsplash. Is there any plan in
near future ?

Hi Basanta,

As mentioned on IRC, a bootsplash-enabled kernel has been added to the
repository. You can find a base iso with this kernel in the autobuilds:

http://www.morphix.org/autobuilds/base/

(2007-12-27_1415 is the one)

cheers,

Alex

Although (my version of) bootsplash will apply cleanly to a 2.6.22 and 2.6.23 
kernel, we are faced with a major problem with 2.6.24 and beyond - The 
bootsplash patch will no longer get any official support, and major 
structural changes have been made to 2.6.24 (i386 and x86_64 has been merged 
in to a single architecture). Whilst it may be possible to maintain our own 
bootsplash patch for 2.6.24 and beyond, I feel it is time to look at using 
splashy.

 I had a quick look at it last night, and it works OK(ish) on an installed 
system. Running from boot on a LiveCD is going to require a little bit of 
editing to the linuxrc script in miniroot - Probably resulting in the need 
for a splashy.udeb.

I'll build a set of 2.6.23 kernel packages (what other *-modules-2.6.23 
packages do we need ?) tonight with bootsplash & unionfs patched in. Given 
time, also investigate the effort required to use bootsplash with 2.6.24. In 
the meantime, any thoughts on splashy ?


Regards, Paul.

Cool, note that a modified cloop might be required. The (patched) source
is in the repository. Give me a prod when you're done so I can add these
to the repository.

I wouldn't mind including both for the time being, but I agree that
splashy is the only option for the long run. Not having to patch the
kernel will be nice, and development for splashy seems to be more
active. Splashy and bootsplash use the same bootoption, so I'll have to
script around that, but that's a minor deal.

cheers,

Alex

I had splashy on my own top do list for a while, but not had a chance
to attempt it!

http://splashy.alioth.debian.org/wiki/doku.php
http://splashy.alioth.debian.org/wiki/doku.php?id=about
# Require zero kernel patches/full functionality in user-space
# Configuration file in XML

In terms of re-branding its is really nice, heck anything that uses
xml must fit in to morphix.

In order to install Splashy in your own custom distribution or variant
of UNIX system, you would need to:

Quote:-
1. tell the system to start "/sbin/splashy boot" as early as possible
2. some "glue" to calculate the progressbar and update it using:
splashy_update "progress NN"
3. you will need to exit Splashy at some point with: splashy_update exit

Using 2.4.24-rc6 as a baseline, the bootsplash patch applies with a few fuzzy 
chunks but no failures - Unless there are any significant changes to fbcon 
and vesafb sources, we should be OK for a little while longer.
