Perhaps it is even acceptable > politically? And that's exactly how it will be done in fbsplash, as soon as I move the rest of the 'silent'-handling code to the userspace. Fbsplash will call a userspace helper as soon as fbcon is initialized. The helper can be used put the console into KD_GRAPHICS mode and paint a full-screen picture to cover any text messages. Progress bars and other fancy stuff will be handled after init, by 100% userspace code (it's done that way even with the current version of fbsplash).
