You just don't see the BMP file displayed, right? The current version of splash_bmp.ko is very limited. The color depth must be 8 bpp (256 color), and the size must be 320x200 or smaller. If your BMP file doesn't satisfy these conditions, splash_bmp.ko will return error 19 (ENODEV). These restriction may be relaxed in the future (no delivery date is promised, though). Um, yes, there is another possibility of error. If the video driver finds it unable to switch video modes on your video card, splash_bmp.ko will fail too. Run the `dmesg' command and see if it shows something like "...video mode switching is only partially supported..." among boot messages. There is no fix for this at the moment. Sorry.
