You should retain the VC splash, and you should be able to get the bootsplash back via /usr/share/bootslash/scripts/make-boot-splash /boot/initrd.img > The whole thing is very confusing and hard to use. Hint: use 'vgahi' next time you install, and everything will be much better, installation will look better, LILO will look better, bootsplash will look better (DrakX notices your use of vgahi and sets your bootloader vga line for you). > Draksplsh seems to do > nothing for me.

It will save you lots of aggravation. On most machines I install on I use vgahi, but there are good reasons it can't be the default.
