| Not sure if this would help even a little, but I thought the CONSOLE option was for silent only :S. |

| CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 I think. I'm going to put this problem aside for now, seein as I can't get my new AGP card I got for Christmas to work... |

Your problem is with the notation you use (there may be other problems). If you use the nvidia framebuffer then it should be:
not
I would personally stay away from the nvidia framebuffer as it conflicts with the proprietary nvidia opengl driver. I reccomend using vesafb as it should work on practically any system without conflicts. If you use vesafb then you CAN'T use this notation:
You should use this instead:
For a listing of other video modes and their vesafb notation click here
As an example here is the relevant part of my grub.conf (keep in mind I'm using a different theme and video mode):
| Code: | title Gentoo
root (hd1,3)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr vga=0x31B splash=verbose,theme:MetallTux quiet
initrd /boot/fbsplash-metal |
And yes the CONSOLE part is only needed for splash=silent and not for splash=verbose |

| But I was using vesafb-tng, and thought I didn't need to set vga=*. |

Thanks a LOT for this thread! I had almost given up, but this definitely sorted things out. Thanks again!

| But I do use vesafb, vesafb-tng to be exact. And how come when I set theme:emergence, the dmesg always shows setting 'default' theme on all the consoles? I even tried removing the default file in /etc/splash. |

to avoid the problem with the nano editor, use
the -w disables the line wrapping |

| the -w option for nano removes wordwrap from its behaviour, so that it will not break your long lines (like your kernel command) |
