splashutils-0.9_pre09
kernels: gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r4
         gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.5-r1

I am currently running gensplash w/2.6.8-r4 but of late I've been switching back & forth between that & 2.6.5-r1. Obviously 2.6.5-r1 doesn't support gensplash so I removed splash from my default runlevel to avoid any bootup problems. 2.6.5-r1 boots fine except for the following error messages after running all my default level runscripts:

Failed to open /dev/fb0 for reading.
Can't open /dev/fbsplash.

splashutils shouldn't still be looking for fbsplash on a non-fbsplash kernel (there is the bootsplash option in 2.6.5-r1 which is not enabled). After unmerging splashutils the error goes away. Reemerged splashutils and started tracing this through the initscripts getting as far as splash-functions.sh & realizing this is a little beyond me. For now when running 2.6.5-r1 I comment out line 53 in /sbin/functions.sh which is a little easier than unmerging.

I realize this is more cosmetic than anything but it's annoying. Can we get a fix for this?

Probably a terrible hack but works for me.
