Bug#138121: ITP: kernel-patch-lpp -- Display a graphical boot-screen with progress
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
This package is going to replace kernel-patch-lpp-640x480 and
kernel-patch-lpp-1024x768, as it provides a way to choose the
resolution through make [x|menu]config.
Which architectures provide framebuffer drivers?
According to linux/drivers/video/Config.in there doesn't seem to be
an architecture restriction, thus architecture "any" - but I have
been told e.g. Alpha doesn't support framebuffer. IMHO this should
still be architecture any, as it's just VESA-Framebuffers that are
only supported by i386...?
This patch adds the Linux Progress Patch option to the Linux kernel.
The Linux Progress Patch is a kernel patch which displays a
full-screen logo with a progress bar and some informational text
while booting. It hides the normal startup messages printed by the
kernel, and is meant for people that don't care about boot messages.
It is based on the original LPP by Cajus Pollmeier

The theme I created looks about like this:
