The program Startupmanager can change splash screen I think. You find it in Synaptic.

First of, the page recommends README file.
Startupmanager seems a bit buggy at the moment.

Halaliel,
Karmic includes some changes, X starts a lot earlier now, you see sequential text, bootsplash, xsplash, gdm, xsplash.

Startup manager as it was I found no longer works with GRUB 2. Found this vague line that GRUB 2 is a project in the making & a new Startup manager 2 is under-development now. So guess changing things in GRUB is not recommended. So can the developers make a update to get rid of this boot screen & give us a far better splash screen ? Come on guys this screen is ugly compared to screens used before.

Can you help with this problem?
