[Splashy-users] splashy shows shutdown screen but not the boot up screen

[Luigi]

is splashy compiled statically? (hint: ldd /sbin/splashy)
if it is not, do you have /usr mounted from a separate partition? (hint:
mount | grep usr)

I cannot think of any reason why this is not working for you... Did you
check that /etc/rcS.d/S01splashy is there? is it executable? can you add an
interactive shell before splashy gets started from that script and execute
it manually?

cat /etc/rcS.d/S01splashy
#!/bin/sh
# this script starts splash

/bin/sh
# EOF

At that point you will be in a shinny #> prompt. Just type "/sbin/splashy
boot". That should at least tell you what the problem is.
