[SOLVED] no lil images on boot

Just compiled the viper kernel but do not want any little images in the top left corner of the screen while booting - I prefer plain system messages - how can I achieve that?

Disable framebuffer support. Or just disable boot logos.

If you still want to use a framebuffer you could disable the bootup logo in your kernel config:

Device Drivers -->
    Graphics support -->
        Logo configuration -->
             [] Bootup logo

Another option would be to forgo using a framebuffer.

Thanx for your answers - it looks like the thing is enabled in the kernel - no use to disable the framebuffer - so recompile is a must - oh well...

No need to recompile if you don't want to. You can disable the framebuffer by passing vga=normal as a boot option (IIRC, may also work by just removing any existing vga= options you may be using).
