With splashutils-1.1.9.6-r1 I get an empty progressbar with the emergence theme. With the livecd theme, it just says "Initializing kernel" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge splashutils and splash-themes-gentoo 2. install emergence theme in grub.conf 3. reboot Actual Results: A nice looking splash screen, but shows an empty progressbar that does not update (ever). Expected Results: Working progressbar.

Please paste your /proc/cmdline or the kernel command line options from grub.
/proc/cmdline : root=/dev/hda1 video=vesafb:ywrap,1280x1024-32@75 splash=silent,fadein,theme:emergence quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 (I'm using vesafb-tng) Also, I don't know if this is related, but looking back at the console after starting up, I notice this in the startup messages: /etc/init.d/splash: line 25: splash_setup: command not found
This is definitely related. Could you please try remerging splashutils? It looks like /sbin/splash-funtions.sh is missing on your system.
Re-emerging splashutils fixed it. I'm pretty sure splash-functions.sh wasn't there the first time around. Works now though. Thanks!
Ok, closing the bug.
