no splash screen at all,
just a screen + console blank.
reproducible with latest usplash and linux-image 2.6.18 or 2.6.17.
i'm a bit lost what the cause is, i know that it is not the vesafb,
as this one would only kick in if you boot with vga=xxx.
adding vgafb to the initramfs didn't cure my trouble with latest.
nor changing the hook script to use the lowest possible image
resolution.
really no idea atm.
