I've replaced my former attempt at a patch with The Real Thing this time... including the patches to include/linux/console.h and kernel/printk.c that should have been in there last time.
BRIEFLY: --------- This patch comes with a "make_bootlogo.pl" script for installing your own custom boot graphics and adds two options to the frame buffer kernel configuration:
CONFIG_QUIET_PRINTK: suppresses printk()'s console output and CONFIG_FBLOGO_{TOPLEFT,CENTER}: chooses screen position for the boot graphic
The patch is at:
http://execpc.com/~rdmiller/Linux/kernel-bootlogo.patch.gz
and is roughly 120k bytes due to the movement of the raw logo data.
DETAILS: -------- Documentation for the kernel configuration options has been added to the Documentation/Configure.help file. There is also a Documentation/fb/make_bootlogo.txt to explain the use of the new script for installing your own graphic.
Previous graphics have been retained, but moved to linux_logo_data.h files where applicable. The non-architecture-specific default logo is in include/linux/linux_logo_default.h which gets linked to include/linux/linux_logo.h if there isn't an architecture-specific logo.
ONE FINAL CAUTION: ------------------ Choose your boot logo with some measure of prudence. A certain non-ANSI logo suggested recently on this mailing list would probably not be appropriate.
