Here’s a good guide on setting up bootsplash in gentoo.

I tried vesafb-tng but it didn’t work for me, radeondb works really well though. My grub config looks like:

# this is the default 1400x1050 resolution of my thinkpad T41
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda2 video=radeonfb splash=verbose,theme:gentoo quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd /boot/fbsplash-gentoo-1400x1050

# this works for a lower resolution
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda2 video=radeonfb:1024x768-32@60 splash=silent,theme:TuxInfo quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd /boot/fbsplash-TuxInfo-1024x768
