Yep, happened to me too. I was booting with vga=773 (1024x768x8bpp) and video=vesa:ywrap, and the logo really sucks. Some investigation has uncovered that RH changed the logo file (include/linux/linux_logo.h), but failed to update LOGO_H and LOGO_W in drivers/video/fbcon.c. The results are that the new logo (looks like it's supposed to have a res of 2400x20) are not in sync with fbcon.c expected size of 800x60. The other possibility is that the junk in the new linux_logo.h file has been corrupted somehow, because I'm still trying to figure out why RH wants a bootup logo with a width of 2400 - seems too big for me. I think you can workaround this ugly logo by doing one of two things: 1. Grab linux_logo.h from RH 7.3, replace it, and rebuild the kernel. 2. Grab linux_logo.h and fbcon.c from kernel-2.4.19, replace em both, rebuild the kernel, then see a TUX logo instead of RH's. :) Basically, the bitmap for the logo in linux_logo.h must be EXACTLY synchronized with the #defines of LOGO_H and LOGO_W in fbcon.c - and they are NOT sync'd in RH 8.0.
