Most probably, you are initializing your graphics card  before you register 
the framebuffer.  You should not do it, but only on an explict fb_set_par() 
call. If that cannot be avoided, we can extend the rectangle for fillrect() 
in fb_show_logo() - fbmem.c.  So instead of rect.height = 
fb_logo.logo->height, use info->var.xres (or info->var.yres_virtual). You 
might lose some of the text messages though, not sure.
