Thank you for this one. I already tried this with initscripts-extras-fbsplash without any problems. :) I
Keep watching initscritps-git, it will change again slightly before I release it. I hope to keep the hooks API stable after the next initscripts release though. Were you able to remove all your hacks that needed to compare the arguments of stat_busy and stat_done calls to fixed strings? I particularly disliked those.
OT: Currently I have to duplicate the CONSOLEFONTS code from rc.sysinit and run it after the splash daemon is stopped because setfont destroys the splash screen. Could this be moved into a separate daemon scriptlet ? ... or even simply dropped since the keymap initcpio hook provides this functionality anyway ?
We cannot depend on the initramfs in the real system - once the root is mounted and the system is started, it's a new game. I don't know how to solve this right away, can you open a bug report (haha ...) - seriously, we need a clean way to move this code, I'll think about it.
