problem with new initscripts+custom kernel

it seems that some kind of verbose output (a lot) is shown while initscripts are run
things like
:: Mounting Root-Read-only   
usb2-1 blablablabal
::Mounting Localfilesystems
some warnings about ext3
blablablabla

*Note this doesnt happen with arch's stock or beyond kernels, only with my custom 2.6.19-beyond2

add 'quiet' to your bootloader line.

Re: problem with new initscripts+custom kernel

it already has that option, besides, the kernel verboseness (i think i just invented a word) is between the initscripts

Re: problem with new initscripts+custom kernel

ok i found the problem, seems to be related to gensplash, i think it is currently broken but thats a ntoher topic
i changed my kernel line from

kernel (hd0,2)/boot/actual root=/dev/sda3 ro panic=10 quiet splash=verbose,theme:darch console=tty1

to

kernel (hd0,2)/boot/actual root=/dev/sda3 ro panic=10 quiet console=tty1

and removed my initrd line
and now it behaves properly

Re: problem with new initscripts+custom kernel

it seems that manually created gensplash doesnt play well with the new initscripts

i created my initrd with

splash_geninitramfs -v -g /boot/fbsplash-darch-1280x800 -r 1280x800 darch
