[issue838] use plymouth for graphical bootsplash?

[Michael Prokop]

New submission from Michael Prokop <mika at grml.org>:

I'm not sure whether plymouth is the way-to-go but it could be worth a try.
Quoting http://honk.sigxcpu.org/con/Boot_splashing_with_plymouth.html:

To enable Plymouth you first need to set up KMS in the initramfs [...] by 
setting

i915.modeset=1

on the kernel command line. Then install plymouth, set a default theme and 
update the initramfs:

aptitude install plymouth plymouth-plugins-all
plymouth-set-default-theme solar
update-initramfs -u

Finally add splash to the kernel's command line [...]
