Hey all,
I have a new system giving me problems with gensplash on boot. fbsplash doesn't switch the splash state to 'on' until /etc/init.d/splash is started. Right next to me are two other puters with similar hardware and setup, giving no problems... Here are some details on the problem box...

Kernel: 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 (also trying 2.6.8-gentoo-r3)
Chaintech ViaKT600
Sempron 2200
512MB PC3200
GeforceFX 5200 128MB

Code:
Device Drivers  --->

Block devices  --->

<*> Loopback device support
<*> RAM disk support                           
(16)  Default number of RAM disks     
(4096) Default RAM disk size (kbytes)
[*]   Initial RAM disk (initrd) support

Graphics support  --->
[*] Support for frame buffer devices
<*>   VESA VGA graphics support
       VESA driver type (vesafb-tng)  --->
(1024x768@70) VESA default mode

Console display driver support  --->
    [*]   Video mode selection support
    <*> Framebuffer Console support
[*] Support for the framebuffer splash


Code:
bash#   splash_geninitramfs -v -g /boot/fbsplash-emergence-1024x768 -r 1024x768 emergence
o Creating directory structure..
o Copying /sbin/splash_helper..
o Copying themes..
  - emergence
o Creating initramfs image..


Code:
bash# ls /boot
boot                          grub
fbsplash-AquaMatrix-1024x768  kernel-2.6.10-gentoo-r6
fbsplash-Cynapses-1024x768    kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r3
fbsplash-emergence-1024x768   lost+found
fbsplash-emergence-1280x1024


Code:
/boot/grub/grub.conf:

title Gentoo Linux (2.6.10)
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:ywrap,pmipal,1024x768-32@70 splash=verbose,theme:emergence
initrd (hd0,0)/fbsplash-emergence-1024x768


Code:
dmesg:

vesafb: NVIDIA Corporation, NV34 Board - p162-1nz, Chip Rev    (OEM: NVIDIA)
vesafb: VBE version: 3.0
vesafb: protected mode interface info at c000:f0c0
vesafb: pmi: set display start = c00cf0f6, set palette = c00cf160
vesafb: pmi: ports = 3b4 3b5 3ba 3c0 3c1 3c4 3c5 3c6 3c7 3c8 3c9 3cc 3ce 3cf 3d0 3d1 3d2 3d3 3d4 3d5 3da
vesafb: hardware supports DCC2 transfers
vesafb: monitor limits: vf = 120 Hz, hf = 70 kHz, clk = 2550 MHz
vesafb: scrolling: ywrap using protected mode interface, yres_virtual=1200
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 100x37
fbsplash: console 0 using theme 'emergence'
vesafb: framebuffer at 0xe0000000, mapped to 0xe0880000, using 3750k, total 131072k
fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device


Then after /etc/init.d/splash starts:

Code:
fbsplash: console 0 using theme 'emergence'
fbsplash: switched splash state to 'on' on console 0
fbsplash: console 1 using theme 'emergence'
fbsplash: switched splash state to 'on' on console 1
fbsplash: console 2 using theme 'emergence'
fbsplash: switched splash state to 'on' on console 2
fbsplash: console 3 using theme 'emergence'
fbsplash: switched splash state to 'on' on console 3
fbsplash: console 4 using theme 'emergence'


And so on to console 10

So during boot, fbsplash doesn't switch splash state to 'on'. But why:)

Hope I didn't miss anything; thanks for any replies!

try adding this into grub.conf. That's what makes my splash work.
Code:

kernel .....  init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 .....
