Getting error during bootup: /etc/init.d/functions

While booting Yoper 2 up I repeatedly get an error messages (many times during a single bootup) saying:

/etc/init.d/function: error in line 11 /proc/splash no such file or directory

I include the /etc/init.d/function file:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

# Make sure umask is sane
umask 022

# First set up a default search path.
source /etc/profile

rc_splash()
{
    echo "show $progress" > /proc/splash
    progress=$(( $progress + 15000 ))
}
Please advise. Thanks.

Doing a google search I found that you might need to compile options into the kernel for the bootsplash to work. Since the kerner has to create /proc/splash so that it can show a progressing bar etc.

Thanks for replying. So what exactly do I have to do now? (I'm a relative newbie...)

You may want to go over to http://bootsplash.org/kernel.html and patch your kernel.
