    Like I said, I'm missing info. Like adding video= or vga= to the
    menu.lst to tell grub I want to use framebuffer mode at boot. Google is
    my friend. :)

    I'm making progress. By adding video=vesa vga=0x317 I get a blank screen
    up to the point that X starts. That's not a problem for now, because I
    know I'm on the right track. I'm recompiling a kernel right now that has
    vesa included, and not a module, as well as console framebuffer support.

    Once I get that, *then* I can start playing with the bootsplash patch.
    :)
