I know of 3 different variants to do boot splash.
Variant 1: /sbin/splash together with a kernel patch developed by
Stefan Reinauer in his days at SUSE. This is what we use at
boot/reboot shutdown.
Variant 2: splashy: entirely user land, we use it when we do suspend.
Variant 3: ply_image: fast, fully user land, just pasts an image into the
console
used on Moblin (and SUSE Moblin).
I assume you have problems with variant 1, the kernel solution. As we load DRM
(and thus KMS) only when X starts and do normal fbdev before this problem only
appears at shutdown.
a. Does the problem also occur when you do init 3 and reboot without ever
starting X?
b. What does 'cat /proc/splash' say when X is running?
With my Intel laptop I don't see this issue. I could install 11.2 on my newest
Intel box (82915G - which still is at least 3 years old).
