Package:usplash
Version: 0.3e
Usertags: debian-edu@lists.debian.org
usplash fail at boot with the error
bogl_init failed: /dev/fb0 no such file or directory
I am not sure what should be responsible for creating that device at boottime, but this worked for me.
adding a line saying
"mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 0"
just above the line saying
"/sbin/usplash -c &"
in the file /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/usplash
and deleting and recreating the initrd file with eg:
dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r)
makes usplash work as expected.

I'm closing this bug then.
Please RM team, add a hint to initramfs-tools to enters etch since it
has some nice and simple fixes like this one for FrameBuffer dealing.
