diskless, nfsroot and usplash ..

[Ben]

I am creating a diskless desktop system based on Ubuntu 8.04 and i have 
run into a problem with usplash.

On the "golden" client usplash works as expected, i.e. displays at 
startup and disappears moments before X. 

However when i boot from nfs the splash displays at startup (i.e. from 
initramfs) but as soon as 'root' is switched to the NFS mount and "exec 
run-init" it disappears and all the rc messages are visible.

Any idea why that would be occurring?

Thanks,

Ben
