Only original kernel source!!! :) I think he is saying that bootsplash shouldn't even require a kernel module to begin with so should be rewritten to properly make use of fbcon, hence "the same thing can be done in userspace" comment. When something can be done in userspace just as well as in kernelspace it should be done in userspace. If there are things bootsplace needs to do that can't be done in userspace or with fbcon then speak up... Chris
