	I'm quite skeptical about it being udev. udev simply manages the /dev 
tree. More likely, it's something to with initrd and its contents.

	FWIW, swsusp2 also has the bootsplash patches, though I've never used 
their capabilities. I'm not one for eye-candy so I mostly turn off rhbg 
in grub.conf, and frankly, when you get to fiddling the kerneldown at 
the closer-to-the-machine level that swsusp2 does, you *want* to see the 
messages that rhgb/bootsplash would cover up.
