Anyone have success with bootsplash package?

["Eric A. Bonney" <mailinglists@vanhlebarsoftware.com>]

I have tried installing this package on two of my three machines and had 
no success with it.  I have verified that I have frame buffer support 
compiled into the kernal and I have also even installed the patch that 
is listed in apt-get, but nothing seems to work.  At one point I was 
able to get text size change during the boot up, but then machine locked 
up during the boot process.

So I was wondering if anyone had any tips if they got it working on 
their machines.
