The image is hardcoded on the kernel itself and is shown everytime you
boot with a framebuffer console, it's not loaded using an external
program from a /etc/init.d script nor anything like that.

If you see the pengin the framebuffer is working, so fbi should also
work. I don't know what may cause that 'packed pixel buffer' error.
