DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: boot splash during hardware check



i tried alot of different ways to get that working, but it seems every time i do i get some kind of error, if you guys ever tried morphix or pilotlinux (deriviate) you most likely know what i mean, so adding an option, or if anyone else made this possible, pls let me know so i can do it aswell :)
The bootsplash is a kernel patch.  You've patched, recompiled, and inserted the new kernel into a freshly remastered DSL iso?  If not, that's why you haven't been very successful.  There's a fairly decent walkthrough on this Gentoo thread.  Use the instructions for the 2.4.x series kernels and use the Debian equivalents for the Gentoo-specific commands and you should be set.
