netbooting with splash screen and some PC's get a blank screen after splash

I am booting some older computers (pxebooting from a read only nfs share) to tinycore with kernel 2.6.33.3-tinycore and have a splash screen
Most computers work fine but some see the splash screen then blank / black screen
My bootcode is
APPEND vga=773 splash quiet initrd=/boot/tinycore.gz quiet nfsmount=10.0.0.80:/srv/nfs ro tce=nfs/tce
When I remove the splash screen (by removing bootcode vga=773) they boot fine (except no splash screen).
I am making a list of those that dont work to see if it I can find a similarity - so far 2 of the 5 that dont work have nvidia video

Where do you see that Core supports a splash screen?

Well - I guess i never checked to see if it did anywhere. I just added my own with an animated splash screen and everything.
It really ties the whole package together.

This is how I added splash screen
from kernel removed default logo (CONFIG_LOGO),
into ramdisk added usplash with themes,
added usplash_write routine to init scripts:
/etc/init.d/tc-config
/usr/bin/tce-setup

As it's an usplash issue, TCB is a wrong forum for it. Moving.
Any reason to use TC 3.x? Current is 5.x.
