[Splashy-devel] Bug#497313: splashy: deb hooks don't rebuild initramfs for all installed kernels

[Mark Hedges]

Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.10-2
Severity: normal


I have two kernels on my machine, the stock kernel and a 
custom kernel.  I had the custom kernel running when I 
installed splashy.  It correctly loaded the splash screen 
at boot time because initramfs was rebuilt.  However, the 
stock kernel does not load the splash screen until after I 
unlock the encrypted /dev/mapper drives.  And when changing 
splash themes, it should rebuild initramfs for all kernels 
found in grub.  When I rebuilt initramfs for the stock 
kernel (by reinstalling the pkg with apt-get), then the
stock kernel booted with the splash screen.

When I purged and removed the splashy package because it 
crashes during resume from hibernation, I was running the 
stock kernel.  However, the post-rm script only rebuilt 
initramfs for my custom kernel.  So now I have to rebuild 
initramfs for the stock kernel myself.

Thanks!  It's about time Debian had a splash screen. 
This is really awesome.  Except that it doesn't work.  ;-)
