I have a similar but different question :)

How can I *disable* the boot logo but still maintain framebuffer startup?

I have a problem at the moment (actually not right at this point as the machine is in 
bits, but prior to yesterday I had it), whereby:

A) framebuffer would start, in 16bit depth, with a boot logo, and then enable a 
bootsplash to be displayed behind the console text at the end of startup using the 
init scripts (after manually emerging bootsplash due to it being masked)
B) if I enabled ANY initrd the kernel would crash instantly when starting, and lock 
the machine up requiring a cold boot (while flashing the keyboard lights at me) - 
obviously stopping me from having a splash screen hide all of init!

I don't know if maybe I'm missing something out of my kernel configuration (initrd is 
enabled, as is all the necessary framebuffer stuff - I'm using matroxfb), or if the 
kernel really doesn't like the settings I'm running the framebuffer at (768x288, 
15.75Khz horizontal refresh :D), but since it works perfectly once the kernel has 
started up the only thing I can think of is maybe the bootlogo/initrd are conflicting 
somehow.

If anyone has any idea's I'd really appreciate them!

Matthew
