Hello Johannes,

Error -2 means that no framebuffer was initialized from the kernel.
What driver are you using? "vesafb"?

Check the FAQ section on the wiki for how to troubleshoot this.

what's the output of:
cat /proc/fb
cat /proc/cmdline

Does "/sbin/splashy test" works? (after the system is up-n-running).


Now, about the x86_64, we are trying to troubleshoot that right now. I
don't have access to this architecture; you can join us on #splashy
irc.freenode.net.

Regards,
