[syslinux] How can I replace the Linux scrolling text during boot-up with a splash image?

[Stephen Saputo]

I need some help in determining how to have a color splash image display in
place of the Linux scrolling-text during the boot-up process on an embedded
Linux device using Syslinux. The kernel used is a stripped-down version of
Linux (kernel 2.6.29), which has been custom configured.  The distros used
are Ubuntu Linux 10.04 (development platform) and X-Linux

I'm very new at this and need some guidance.

Thanks!
