It seems to be a framebuffer thing - starting with vga=normal doesn't
set it off, but vga=791 does. (using the vesa framebuffer on an ATI
Rage Mobility with kernel 2.4.4).
Switching VTs, starting X, or 'reset'ing the terminal all seem to fix
the problem. A simple 'clear' doesn't seem to do the trick.
It would be nice if there was an option to disable that graphic
entirely, or replace it with a user-defined pixmap...
