After upgrading grub I did notice that bootsplash didn't work. It apearse that grub destroied my console= option in the command line to the kernel by appending junk information. $ hexdump -C /proc/cmdline 00000000 72 6f 6f 74 3d 2f 64 65 76 2f 73 64 61 31 20 76 |root=/dev/sda1 v| 00000010 69 64 65 6f 3d 72 61 64 65 6f 6e 66 62 3a 31 30 |ideo=radeonfb:10| 00000020 32 34 78 37 36 38 2d 33 32 20 71 75 69 65 74 20 |24x768-32 quiet | 00000030 73 70 6c 61 73 68 3d 73 69 6c 65 6e 74 2c 66 61 |splash=silent,fa| 00000040 64 65 69 6e 2c 74 68 65 6d 65 3a 65 6d 65 72 67 |dein,theme:emerg| 00000050 65 6e 63 65 20 63 6f 6e 73 6f 6c 65 3d 74 74 79 |ence console=tty| 00000060 31 49 01 c0 49 d3 e8 31 c9 e8 fa ba ff ff 8b 03 |1I..I..1........| 00000070 c7 43 04 0a |.C..| 00000074 Parts of grub.conf: ---- timeout 5 hiddenmenu default 0 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Gentoo root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 video=radeonfb:1024x768-32 quiet splash=silent,fadein,theme:emergence console=tty1 initrd /boot/initrd-emergence-1024x768 ---- $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.5_rc1 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.2.3, glibc-2.7-r2, 2.6.24-gentoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.24-gentoo-r4 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Timestamp of tree: Sat, 05 Apr 2008 11:45:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.5 dev-lang/python: 2.5.1-r5 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.12 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.24 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/4.0/env /usr/kde/4.0/share/config /usr/kde/4.0/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=native -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="collition-protect distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.gentoo.no/ http://ftp.ing.umu.se/linux/gentoo/" LANG="C" LC_ALL="" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="sv ja en" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac acpi alsa amd64 anthy arts big-tables bittorrent bzip2 c++ cairo cdda cddb cdparanoia cdr cdrom cjk cli cracklib crypt css cups cxx dbus dnd dri dvd dvdr encode fam fastcgi fbcondecor fbsplash ffmpeg flac fontconfig ftp geoip gif grammar grub gs hal icons iconv ieee1394 immqt iproute2 isdnlog jabber java java5 java6 jingle jpegkde kdehiddenvisibility kdepim kdm lame latex libnotify lighttpd logrotate mad mail matroska midi mikmod mime mmap mmx mmxext mp3 mp4 mpeg mpeg2 mplayer msn mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ntp offensive ogg opengl openmp openssl otr pch pcre pdf plasma plugins png pppd qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime rar readline reflection reiserfs rtc scim sdl session sockets sound sounds speex spell spl srt sse sse2 ssl subtitles svg svgz sysfs tcpd tex theora threads threadsafe threadsonly tiff transcode truetype type1 ui unicode usb video videos vim vim-syntax visibility vorbis wav wma x264 xattr xcb xcomposite xim xorg xrandr xrender xscreensaver xv xvid zip zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="asym empty plug softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev mouse keyboard" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="sv ja en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
