How about adding a bit on the "bootsplash" USE flag, and about the newer 2.6 kernels using gensplash instead of bootsplash?

[edit] Defaults?
What are they?
All the configurable stuff for genkernel is in /usr/share/genkernel. I needed to include megaraid_mbox support, so I had to edit x86_64/modules_load and generic/initrd.defaults-- took me about an hour of figuring out the scripts to get there. Really could be more on this in the genkernel documentation.
[edit] Comment
It's a common enough scenario that someone will have to add a driver to the initrd that it probably warrants some way in the main /etc/genkernel.conf or on the genkernel command line to add a particular driver to the initrd.
In my particular case, I was looking to add the 3w-9xxx driver to the initrd; I had to add it the the SCSI modules and add the scsi modules to the default (in order to prevent having to type "doscsi" every boot.)
[edit] So how do you add a driver to the initram disk image?
The previous comments suggest they needed to add a driver. How did they do it?
[edit] initrd or initramfs???
I would like to know what genkernel makes.initrd or initramfs(which is taught as superior)69.31.133.16 12:30, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
