I think you'll have to compile your own kernel with CONFIG_LOGO set to "y".

empty@archie ~ % zgrep -i logo /proc/config.gz 
# CONFIG_LOGO is not set
empty@archie ~ %

But, IIRC, it won't work with early KMS. If you have Intel graphics, you want early KMS.

Okay it's building we will see if that works, when it finishes.

Also, are you sure you installed the recompiled kernel on the boot drive? Did you change the name of the kernel?
