where did the pretty penguin go??

I just upgraded my kernel to 2.4.3 from 2.2.16. In 2.2, I loaded the console in vesa mode, using vga=791 from LILO. In 2.4 however, with vga=791, I get a blank screen despite the fact the the hard-drive noise and hdd light show that the computer is otherwise booting normally. Fortunately, if I remove the vga=791 from the lilo.conf file, I get the screen back, but I don't get that nice penguin in the corner as I did before. Any ideas on how I can get that penguin back? Thanks in advance.

nevermind, I figured it out myself, I had to add vesa support for framebuffer consoles in the kernel, now it's working fine, thanks anyway.

:D
You learned a good lesson: If it workes in an older kernel, and not in a newer one, it's most likely because you didn't add the right stuff when you compiled :p. I've done the same thing a couple times, too :).
