And it worked from day one, i.e. since February 2011. Thus the request to test the latest kernel from git looks rather bogus to me. 2.6.39 should be sufficient, and my gut feeling is that some other package is at fault here. One obvious difference is that Ubuntu and Fedora (who has a duplicate bug) use Plymouth, while Gentoo doesn't. To test the theory, could you please remove the "splash vt.handoff=7" parameters from the kernel command line? -- Alexander E. Patrakov
