In SuSe's kernel there is a nice feature but I cannot found where is
the code that does it and so I cannot play with it 8-).
The thing I'm talking about is grpahical boot + graphical first console.
I glanced at include/asm-i386/linux_logo.h but it doesn't differ.
Can someone help me ?

Install the package "kernel-source" from zq (source) series.
The patch in the archives you have to look for is named ...boot-splash...
The important files in the patched kernel tree are:
linux/drivers/video/fbcon-splash.[ch]
There are some more changes in the whole fbcon* files (for alpha blending
etc.).

This is the so-called Linux-Progress-Patch created by Cajus Pollmeier.
You can grab it there: http://lpp.FreeLords.org/
I've adapted it for newer kernel. See this: http://www.dindinx.org/lpp

The boot splash patch I made for SuSE allows you to use any jpg picture
as a background console. You can define the text area freely on this
picture.
Have a look at http://www.suse.de/~stepan/bootsplash/ to find the latest
patches. Currently they only apply against a kernel already patched with
bootlogo version patch by Gerard Sharp <[email protected]> (this patch can
be downloaded from above location, too)
Any ideas/bug reports are welcome!
Best regards,
