I think it is. |

After setting RC_DEVICE_TARBALL to "no" and removing everything except |
| 7 |
/dev/console and /dev/null by using the gentoo live-cd, the number of my |
| 8 |
devices decreased to 850 from formerly 5200. |

A note for everybody who uses gensplash and splashutils. After i deleted |
| 11 |
the device files and rebooted the silent mode refused to work. So i |
| 12 |
decided to reemerge splashutils. But this is not necessary. After |
| 13 |
installing, the ebuild checks for missing devices, which was in my case |
| 14 |
/dev/tty1. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Here is the output from emerge which solved my problem! |

|

It appears that the /dev/tty1 character device doesn't exist on |
| 19 |
the root filesystem. This will prevent the silent mode from working |
| 20 |
properly. You can fix the problem by doing: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
mount --bind / /lib/splash/tmp |
| 23 |
mknod /lib/splash/tmp/dev/tty1 c 4 1 |
| 24 |
umount /lib/splash/tmp |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I hope this helps to avoid confusion! |
