The function "splash_update()" in /etc/init.d/functions.sh runs /sbin/splash incorrectly and it results in splash usage statement: Usage: splash logstring splash -s [-u unit] -n [cfgfile] showing up several times during boot and shutdown. I added some echo statements to verify that it was this function in function.sh. The offending lines look like: /sbin/splash "$2" "$3" which, in fact, don't conform to the correct usage unless $2 and $3 have some flags included (which I dont think they do). Otherwise it is all working very nicely.

Since init scripts are not something that I want to break, I'm bumping to he with most commits
i think this just happened since the latest baselayout version ( 1.8.6.11 ).
Tad, we need to get a bootsplash out there that support the stuff from http://www.aichler.net/gentoo/bootsplash/ (bug #21019), and depends on baselayout-1.8.6.11. I do not know if I will get the time ... think you might get to it ?
same problem with 1.8.6.12
I had quit using bootsplash with test9, but started again with -test10. The problem still persists, just so you are aware.
I got this to work properly by copying the 'splash' executable from the .tar.gz on http://www.aichler.net/gentoo/bootsplash/ to /sbin/splash_update and changing all references of /sbin/splash to /sbin/splash_update in functions.sh ... Now it all works. :) The progress bar on boot and on halt. Neat!
I got that progress bar working too! :) Thanks, Scott!
As I said before .. the needed changes to the bootsplash ebuild is in bug #21019.
Have these updates been applied to Portage yet? I haven't seen them. If not, is there something we can do to help out?
bootsplash-0.6-r3 committed to CVS. This issue should now be fixed. Sorry for the delay on this.
