When I start a system in a runlevel, named, for example, nox (same as default, but without xdm), I see a progressbar, which move, until init entering runlevel nox (string INIT : Entering runlevel : 3). During starting services in this runlevel progreessbar doesn't move at all, and it dowsn't switch to tty1. So I can't use tty2 at all. If I will switch manually to any tty, except tty2, and kill fbsplashd.static, progressbar disappears. In runlevel with name "default" I haven't got such problem I use initramfs, made with genkernel genkernel initramfs --kernel-config=/usr/src/linux/.config --disklabel --no-mrproper --splash=natural_gentoo Sorry for my bad English :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit inittab, rename , for example, runlevel 3 to nox 2. Copy /etc/runlevels/default to /etc/runlevels/nox 3. Pass init_opts=3 to kernel 4.

Could you please try adding softlevel=nox to your kernel command line parameters to let OpenRC (and indirectly, fbsplash) know what the name of your default runlevel is?

Adding softlevel=nox instead of init_opts="3" helps. But if I change initdefault to 3, fbsplash works, as I have written in a bugreport. This is part of my inittab: ---SKIP--- # Default runlevel. id:5:initdefault: # System initialization, mount local filesystems, etc. si::sysinit:/sbin/rc sysinit # Further system initialization, brings up the boot runlevel. rc::bootwait:/sbin/rc boot l0:0:wait:/sbin/rc shutdown l0s:0:wait:/sbin/halt -dhip l1:S1:wait:/sbin/rc single l2:2:wait:/sbin/rc nonetwork l3:3:wait:/sbin/rc nox l4:4:wait:/sbin/rc default l5:5:wait:/sbin/rc default l6:6:wait:/sbin/rc reboot l6r:6:wait:/sbin/reboot -dk #z6:6:respawn:/sbin/sulogin ---SKIP---
This should now be fixed in CVS. Thanks for reporting the problem!
