Hi !
I used to have a nice vga boot logo with my 2.6.7 kernel, but with the 2.6.9, my
boot logo has disappeared (same .config)...
It seems to switch to VGA, and some space is reserved for the logo, but it is
not displayed.
The logo appears with vesafb.
Any idea / patch welcome !
Cheers,
Ludo

I made a few diffs between my old working 2.6.7 kernel and the 2.6.9 and found
something interesting in fbmem.c:
---------------
@@ -723,7 +419,7 @@
if (fb_logo.logo == NULL || info->state != FBINFO_STATE_RUNNING)
return 0;
- image.depth = fb_logo.depth;
+ image.depth = 8;
image.data = fb_logo.logo->data;
if (fb_logo.needs_cmapreset)
---------------
So, on my 2.6.9, I replaced the '8' by 'fb_logo.depth' and now the logo is
shown! (but the screen is still not cleared as before when the kernel boots).
Where's the QA guy ? I want to see him now ! ;-)
Cheers,

Should be fixed in the mm tree or the latest bk snapshot. Or you can try this
very patch.
