I have a working package for the bootsplash kernel module[1] , but it still
need some documentation. I'm currently working on splashutils in my spare
time, but will be quite offline from tomorrow until some time in early
october, so even if both packages are ready in the meanwhile, I probably
won't be able to upload them for someone to sponsor them.
OTOH, while at it, I hacked a bit bootsplash so that the splash files
("compiled" with the splash utility) can be stored within a cramfs initrd
instead of just concatenate it at the end, which means you can add these
files names in /etc/mkinitrd/files. This hack has only been tested on x86, I
wonder if there are any endian (or other) issues on other architectures. So,
if some non-x86 users could give it a little try ;).
Thanks,
Mike
