The Linux bootsplash is a graphical replacement for the '
quiet
' boot option, typically showing a logo and a spinner animation as the system starts.Currently, it is a part of the Framebuffer Console support, and can be found as
CONFIG_BOOTSPLASH
in the kernel configuration. This means that as long as it is enabled, it hijacks fbcon's output and draws a splash screen instead.Purely compiling in the bootsplash will not render it functional - to actually render a splash, you will also need a splash theme file. See the example utility and script in
tools/bootsplash
for a live demo.
