Minor issue but still no penguin logo on framebuffer. Config attached in
case.

The latest fbdev changes in the mm tree differentiates between bpp and color depth.
The vesafb driver at 8 bpp has a color depth of 6 only (try fbset -i) allowing only for
64 colors.  So fbdev assumes that vesafb at this depth cannot draw a 224-color
logo.

Try using the 16-color logo instead.  The correct fix is for vesafb to correctly determine
the true capability of the hardware instead of arbitrarily setting the color depth at 6.
