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.

It's not usplash trouble but initramfs problem. What version of your
initramfs-tools package? I sent a patch that were include on last
upload to solve it.

the one in etch 0.85a
i noticed a more recent version in sid. So i have upgraded to that and it seams to solve the problem.

it could perhaps be hinted into etch ? it's long overdue the 5 day waiting period.
