You could disable the [framebuffer] console directly in the kernel (CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE). With this disabled, Linux will leave whatever was in the framebuffer (possibly a splash put there by your bootstrap). I've done this where U-Boot put up a splash image that was the same as the psplash one so there was no change on the screen during the boot process until it was completely running. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
