the problem, iirc, is that vesafb (the older not tng) was initialized
almost instantly in kernel, and so did bootsplash, so during the
"Loading initrd.." message it was already in framebuffer mode and just
after the initrd was loaded, bootsplash showed what it had to...
iirc wesafb-tng gets activated a litle bit later (it needs some ohter
things to be initiliazed? ), and fbsplash (the "better&newer" splash in
gentoo) starts after that, so you get a while of plaintext before it...
