Just remove the bootsplash rpm (urpme or the software manager) and then adjust
your /etc/lilo.conf file. Mine looks like this:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
<unnecessary stuff deleted>
vga=791
and don't forget to run (as root/su) /sbin/lilo so the changes are reflected.
I much prefer seeing everything that is going on. I even put "noquiet" in
there so I can see some hardware goodies during bootup. :-)
HTHs.
