If you switch to 2.6.12 from 2.6.11 you will need to remerge splashutils
and rebuild your bootsplash ramdisk, since the splash protocol has
changed. I saw the same problem with 2.6.12. The new splashutils ebuild
has the following to say:
* If you upgrade your kernel from pre-2.6.12 to 2.6.12 or higher, please
* make sure that you remerge this package and rebuild your initrds. You
* can use the splash_geninitramfs script to do that.
