Do you want to see /proc/cmdline?
I tried rolling another CD without splash. I changed the stage2 instalcd spec to comment out to the two splash lines as follows #livecd/splash_type: gensplash #livecd/splash_theme: livecd-2007.0 The result is pretty much the same as with the gentoo-nofb kernel on the CD built with the splash enabled. The vga console does dead as soon as the kernel starts to load. -J --
