Gentoo + fbsplash
Why the heck I needed a splash screen, uh? Just because I wanted my PVR looking even nicer 
and because it’s so easy with
Gentoo. Only required to read
this nice entry at Gentoo’s wiki and follow every single step.
After having it done I’ve got my PVR booting with the
MetallTux theme provided by media-gfx/bootsplash-themes package and the only problem I ran in was I used /etc/conf.d/local.start to launch MythTV frontend and it stopped working after configuring the whole fbsplash thing. I only found when the login prompt is supposed to be shown the X server gets killed so I tried to start it from /etc/inittab:
c3:2345:once:/usr/bin/openvt -fec 3 -- /bin/su - sergio -l -c /usr/X11R6/bin/startx
this line is to replace the original one started by c3 also.
So finally I got everything together up and running, there’s only a little second or maybe two where the console can be viewed but does not bother.
