Like adding video= or vga= to the menu.lst to tell grub I want to use framebuffer mode at boot. Google is my friend. :) I'm making progress. By adding video=vesa vga=0x317 I get a blank screen up to the point that X starts. That's not a problem for now, because I know I'm on the right track. I'm recompiling a kernel right now that has vesa included, and not a module, as well as console framebuffer support. Once I get that, *then* I can start playing with the bootsplash patch. :)
