Did some research :
1. in .config : CONFIG_FBCON_LOGO_BOOT=n
2. via make xconfig : Console support -> Frame-buffer support -> Custom
boot splash screen
The help tells it all:
This allows you to change the boot logo from the default
`penguin' bootup. If you enable this option, make sure that
the PNM utilities and development headers/libraries are installed.
(aka libgr and libgr-devel).
Place your custom logo as a PPM file in the Documentation directory:
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/boot_logo.ppm.bz2
When you recompile your kernel and fbcon is enabled in a graphics
mode (ie anything but VGA text), your logo will be centered and
there will be 2 lines for boot messages.
Thanks to all participants,
Guy.
