genkernel called with parameters "--gensplash initrd" prints out these suggested kernel-parameters: * WARNING... WARNING... WARNING... * Additional kernel cmdline arguments that *may* be required to boot properly... * add "vga=791 splash=silent,theme:default CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 quiet" if you use a gensplash framebuffer ] As I did some testing with baselayout (and according to Uberlord) CONSOLE causes some strange issues and only sets environment. Using console=tty1 is very much suggested. That really redirects /dev/console to the listed device. Attached patch will change it.
Created attachment 128148 [details, diff] Change CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 to console=tty1
I've added this to SVN now... thanks! It'll show up in genkernel 3.4.9_pre1 and above.
Please test genkernel 3.4.9_prer1 or better. This should be fixed now.
Looks fine to me.
