I can't really remember what I did precisely to make it work.

I assume that the kernel is patched with the correct patch, bootsplash is
activated in the .config.
The hardest point iirc was to have the good configuration of lilo.
I used /usr/src/linux-$kernver/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt to get the good
parameters, which lead to this :
	append="root=/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 video=vesafb:1024x768-16@60 splash=verbose resume2=swap:/dev/hda3"
	vga=791
        initrd=/boot/initrd.img

After rebooting with these parameters, the /proc/splash file was created.
And then, stone can be used to create the initrd

I can try to investigate if you tell me more about what is not working for you.
