Splash Screen Lost After Kernel Customization: SOLVED

[kh54]

After customizing, building and installing my keenel today and rebooting, all went OK except that the PCBSD splash screen was lost with the following two lines generated in /var/log/messages boot record:

May 15 16:01:01 localhost kernel: splash_bmp: No appropriate video mode found
May 15 16:01:01 localhost kernel: module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (splash_bmp, 0xc0743908, 0) error 19

Any clues on this error and how it can be managed?

Let me know if you ever find out how to change the splash screen, maybe I'll skip turning it off on my next install.

You might check /boot/defaults/loader.conf for guidance on changing the splash screen.
# This is loader.conf - a file full of useful variables that you can
# set to change the default load behavior of your system. You should
# not edit this file! Put any overrides into one of the
# loader_conf_files instead and you will be able to update these
# defaults later without spamming your local configuration information.

You can reach PC-BSD default kernel config file in /PCBSD/conf/PCBSD.i386 file. I think you just missed couple of lines:

options         VESA            # Vesa Support for Splash
options         SC_PIXEL_MODE   # add support for the raster tex

Thanks for advise antik. I think that the problem arised from the 2 options lines you mentioned which are not originally included in the FBSD Generic file which I customized as given in the FBSD HB.
Now, I'm wondering on which is better, to customize the PCBSD.i386 kernel or the FBSD Generic kernel?

Adding the 2 lines to kernel, rebuilding and installing solved the problem.
Thanks for hint and advise antik
