ok 2 things. 1. uboot env needs to get rid of "console=tty0" from any boot parames preferably something like:
bootargs_base=console=ttySAC2,115200 loglevel=8 that's it. 2. initscripts provides: initscripts - 1.0-r105 - /etc/init.d/banner this is used in rcS.d: /etc/rcS.d/S02banner which annoyingly displays some useful text on the console tty to the effect of: echo "Please wait: booting..." > $vtmaster no thanks! :) need our consoles blissfully clear of any text spewing forth from the kernel and init scripts. :) boot speeds up - and things stay clean. this way only the bootsplash (psplash or exquisite) play with your display on boot until x gets its bum into gear and then its x apps from there on in. :) -- Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
