Thanks guys - I've tried that now and it worked - well sort of worked ... I configured the console frame buffer driver for my card (Voodoo 3) and I now have Tux appearing on boot up as desired, except there's a slight difference between my new kernel's output and the bf24 kernel output : there's now a blank white area appearing to Tux's right, stretching all the way to the right-hand side of the screen - this area is just normal black with the bf24 kernel. I guess the bf24 kernel incorporates some kind of generic frame-buffer driver that behaves differently from the Voodoo 3 one. I'll have a play with this. BTW: I'm slightly surprised that an "experimental" feature is enabled in the default Debian release boot-floppies kernel. I wonder how experimental it is. Thanks for the help.
