[Splashy-devel] Bug#530268: splashy: bad assumption done regarding rcS.d starup ordering

[Eric Valette]

Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.13-5
Severity: important

First of all, asumming a framebuffer devices exist before udev is started is a 
wrong assumption. This was the first bug I found. Moved splashy boot order 
after udev. Then I saw something new: splashy was complaining about not finding 
glib which is in /usr/lib while /usr is not mounted. 

Looking at the start order I deiscovred I wil then hae many traces before
starting it and decided it was not worth the trouble.

BTW: also assuming you will have a vga= line in cmdline is totally false as
lilo will not let you do this and even if you specifically enter it on the 
command line, it will discard it. Vga= use another mechanism than command line.
