Hello,

I enabled framebuffer on the kernel (vesa-fb with 1280x1024
resolution) and I use this grub menu entry for framebuffer:

kernel /bzImage-fb1280 root=/dev/hda8 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr
vga=0x0317 splash=verbose,theme:Gentoo-Hornet

But everytime I boot there's a message that says the video mode is
wrong and prompts me to choose from some menu entry of video modes or
go straight to boot up.

Then after that brief 80x60(?) display gentoo proceeds to boot with
1280x1024 reso (and  the dmesg info scrolls up while tux sits on top
of it... but sadly without using my splash theme :( ).

I was hoping to have a graphical background but it didn't happen.

What else should I look into?

I followed this howto http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash

Thanks.
