1 dracut gensplash module
2 -----------------------
8 2. Configuration and kernel parameters
14 gensplash is based on Genkernel code and that's why it's Gentoo-specific. It
15 requires splashutils to work. To set up theme you may edit /etc/conf.d/splash
16 or set DRACUT_GENSPLASH_THEME and DRACUT_GENSPLASH_RES variables. Your theme
17 has to exist in /etc/splash and for every given resolution has to exist config
18 in theme's directory, e.g. there's 1024x768.cfg in /etc/splash/natural_gentoo.
19 List of resolutions is comma-separated.
21 NOTE: The module will be rewritten to be distro-neutral. Its name will change
25 1. Hostonly vs Generic
27 All available themes are installed only if no --hostonly is specified and no
28 DRACUT_GENSPLASH_THEME and DRACUT_GENSPLASH_RES are set. Otherwise those vars
29 are checked and if not set then config /etc/conf.d/splash is read.
32 2. Configuration and kernel parameters
34 Example set up by environment variables:
35 DRACUT_GENSPLASH_THEME=natural_gentoo
36 DRACUT_GENSPLASH_RES=1024x768,1024x600
38 Example kernel arguments:
39 splash=silent,theme:natural_gentoo console=tty1 quiet
41 You may easily set up the module using Genkernel with arguments:
42 --gensplash=<theme>:<res1>,<res2>,...
