Hi, I am using gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1 and the following grub config
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1 root=/dev/hda3 video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=0x317 initrd=/boot/initrd-1024x768 where /boot/initrd-1024x768 was generated using /sbin/splash -f -s <config> >/boot/initrd-1024x768 Now I do not want a silent bootsplash with a progress bar, so I did not rc-update add bootsplash default All I want is a 1024x768 framebuffer console with a background image during boot. The one thing that nags me is that about halfway through the boot process the Booting the system... Press F2 for verbose mode message appears in the center of the screen. The message is overwritten (looks ugly) by subsequent messages. Can this be configured in such a way that the above message gets not displayed?
