Genkernel 3.0 has an option:

--bootsplash Install bootsplash to initrd

And the genkernel.conf says:

# Copy bootsplash into the initrd image?
BOOTSPLASH="yes"

But, there's no place to specify any bootsplash.

And, the resulting initrd is over 600,000

So...where does this bootsplash come from?

How do you know what to set your framebuffer for?

Read this how-to at the gentoo forums;
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.p...ght=bootsplash
You may have forgotten a kernel option. I don't use genkernel or
bootsplash, so I don't know the difference between bootsplash version 3.0
and 3.01.
Hope this helps.

Thank you...I have the issue solved now. It was due to an ambiguity in
the existing documentation. My fix is in the forum you mention.

-Joseph- Thank God for the ability to PLONK people.
Watch out for people who have forgotten what it's like to be a nOOb.
Give them a good PLONK for 30 days or so. And, be greatful when people
say they are going to PLONK you; that is often a Godsend.
