Sent offline, but I think it should be tracked. fbcondecor patch for 2.6.24 complains of invalid ioctl before it goes into the silent splash at bootup. Also, when switching to verbose splash the boot loader messages are no kept, there are blank lines instead. Worked fine in 2.6.23.
I believe this should be fixed by: http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/fbcondecor/archive/fbcondecor-0.9.4-2.6.24-rc7.patch
kernel: Can you please update genpatches? Thanks!
Reassign kernel
I'm not sure this is relevant to this bug, but it looks like it is.

I was getting an error sysctl table check failed: /kernel/fbcondecor .1.77 Unknown sysctl binary path Not sure if that is the same problem this bug refers to, but the updated fbcondecor patch fixed it.

How is the fix applied? I just emerged gentoo-sources and it didn't seem to be in the current gentoo-patchset.
This bug is still open. It's not in portage yet.
I just realized that, furthermore, I tried replacing the patch in patchset for ebuild, remanifested and tried to emerge gentoo-sources but it failed. I'm going to wait for it to go into the tree.
Just wanted to point out that current patchset in development doesn't patch cleanly. Here is what happens when I replace the current patchset with the one from development. emerge gentoo-sources Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Verifying ebuild Manifests... >>> Emerging (1 of 1) sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.24 to / * genpatches-2.6.24-1.base.tar.bz2 RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...
