All the stuff I've seen so far helps you "just see" the messages but one
of the posts mentioned the kernel option. This is the root of the
splash screen to my knowledge. You would have to have the kernel
sources installed, and for SuSE cp /boot/config-kernel-version to
/usr/src/linux/.config and then change the config file (make
xconfig,menuconfig). The bootsplash option is under Device Drivers -->
Graphics support --> Bootsplash configuration. Here's the info from
that option:
Bootup splash screen (BOOTSPLASH)
This option enables the Linux bootsplash screen. For more
information on the bootsplash screen have a look at
http://www.bootsplash.org/.
If you are unsure, say N
Then do a make and make bzImage and copy that to your /boot dir after
you backup /boot of course. if you have backed up /boot you could also
just do a make install and it will put everything where it needs to be.
One of the guys on this list (Kwan Lowe) wrote a very helpful HowTo that
I used when I first started toying with recompiling the kernel at
http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/Kernel-Build-HOWTO.html.
