I'm using my own custom kernel with the fbcondecor patch (makes splash load as soon as kernel does) but from what I understand fbsplash should work without, just not until after init loads.
Shouldn't you be able to make your splash screen loads in the initcpio/initrd ; avoiding the need to patch kernel or to wait until init started?
Ragards,

fbsplash actually does load from the initcpio, but it depends on the fbcondecor kernel patch to use splash early in the boot process. This is just how it was designed. I'm currently researching and trying to come up with a way to remove the dependency on a custom initscripts package to get splash to work.
