The URL gives all code and my problem detail in presentable matter. Sorry for extra trouble. I am attaching .config file too Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. apply patch bootsplash-0.4 patch gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r1 2. complile kernel with bootsplash option 3.

The same works Ok with vanilla kernel (just in case that information is required)
If you could attach your /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-r1/.config file that would be really good. I've just patched the 2.4.20-r1 kernel using the bootsplash patch and it builds and boots fine for me.
Im sorry that I am commenting nn this so late, I will check the new r2 buil;d and provide necessary feedback.
bootsplash 3.0.7 is in gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r3 and seems to compile fine. please feel free to reopen if you have evidence otherwise. Thanks, Jay
