I like the look of the new bootsplash, but there's a slight glitch.

If you use a SCSI disk driver which takes a while to initialize (both aic7xxx and aic79xx fall into this category, taking 15-30 seconds), you're left looking at a blank bootsplash with what looks like an empty textfield at the bottom right of the screen.

At the least, there ought to be a "loading driver xxxxxx, please wait" message somewhere so that the user doesn't think the boot is hung.

With the old one, at least you had the Mandrake logo and the textarea. The new one just looks incompletely drawn, contributing to the appearance of a hang. Of course, the proposed message would have been an improvement to the old one too.
