In the stock kernel the loading screen starts up immediately when the kernel starts loading, but using the custom kernel, some text is displayed before the loading screen starts up (the kernel finishes loading without problems). I'm trying to figure out the reason for this and if there's a way to fix it so that the user doesn't see this text. Could the reason be the order in which different parts of the kernel are loaded? If yes, how can I control which parts load first?

Is your 'custom kernel' an F11 kernel + your patches, or starting from
an upstream tarball + your patches? (In which case, its lacking all the
patches Fedora has added, and therein probably lies your answer to why
things are behaving differently).
