Apparently this progress bar is displayed not by kernel but by some external program? On 2.4.23-pre8 it is too short while on 2.6 it extends over the right side - apparently it depends on relative kernel version number :)
seriously, how it is computed? Oh, and anyone knows any attepmt to port bootsplash to 2.6? Even incomplete one - it could be taken for a start TIA -andrey please Cc me I do not receive cooker
