I believe this is what is responsible for the background image on the
different ttys. The /boot/initrd-1024x768 is the one responsible for the
background image during boot time.

This looks like a silent mode only partially working. Normally, specifying
"splash=verbose" on the kernel line in grub.conf should solve the problem.
The strange thing though is that this is supposed to be the default
("splash=silent" being the other possibility).
My problem is the opposite: I do want silent mode and can't (the "silenjpeg
size xxxx does not fit into framebuffer" problem, which I'm not sure how to
solve without patching things).
