Well the code from

vga=XXX to the kernel paramteres- and it works as advertised.
I can't comment on how it compares with what's in severn just yet.
The
bootsplash.org is what SuSE use for their graphical boot-up. I'm
guessing at this point that RedHat have committed to serverns way of
doing things (at least for the near future.)
Our kernel developers have an "over my dead body" attitude toward that
patch, I believe. ;-)
