The problem is with your linuxrc file in the initrd (you are using genkernel |
12 |
to build your initrd, right?) There's a mistake in the section which parses |
13 |
the kernel command line so that it misses the CONSOLE=tty1 bit... causing it |
14 |
to write all over the splash screen. |

There's already a bug report (#232012) on this filed in july and I've supplied |
17 |
information about how to work around this bug: |

Let's hope the genkernel developers get the time to fix this. |
