> There are two ways you can add a boot logo to your target platform (Overo or BeagleBoard), one is to modify u-boot so that a boot logo is display immediately after powering on the system. The other is to add the boot logo to the kernel, in which case you have run 'make menuconfig', go to Device Drivers ->  Graphics ->  OMAP 2/3 display subysystem and somewhere in those options, you will see a boot logo option.

I was missing some options in the kernel config. after setting those I 
can see the penguin on boot.

Thanks for this pointer, I really need this since the logo can be shown 
very earlier.
