Interesting. He managed to cut the part of my message that said that I don't sympathize with the idea of a boot logo, but if you wanted one create one for yourself then..[read below..=)]
Not that that has any importance or impact besides wasting bandwith. Anyhow, this gives me the chance to report something real:

I get this when compiling in the AM53C974 code. Also, I was wondering if anybody was going to include the drivers for the Tekram SCSI cards (available at www.tekram.com) in the kernel?
