Besides the other linuxlogo packages that have already been mentioned
the 2.2.x kernels can also display a boot logo.  You will need to use
the frame buffer driver.  This is the help text from the kernel config
questions:

VESA VGA graphics console
CONFIG_FB_VESA
  This is the frame buffer device driver for generic VESA 2.0
  compliant graphic cards. The older VESA 1.2 cards are not supported.
  You will get a boot time penguin logo at no additional cost. Please

  read Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt. If unsure, say Y.
