The following came from a FAQ that I d/l from John Baldwin's website
(www.baldwin.cx) which doesn't seem to exist anymore:
Q. I loaded kernel, a bitmap file and the splash_bmp module as instructed,
but got the following error. What gives?
Preloaded elf module "splash_bmp.ko" at XXXXXX.
module_register_init: module_register(splash_bmp, YYYYYY, 0) error 19
A. The current version of splash_bmp.ko is very limited. The color
depth must be 8 bpp (256 color), and the size must be 320x200 or
smaller if the VESA support is not included in the kernel.
If your BMP file doesn't satisfy these conditions, splash_bmp.ko
will return error 19 (ENODEV). If the VESA support is compiled
in the kernel or the VESA modules is preloaded by the boot loader,
larger bitmap may be used.
Another possible cause of error is that the video driver finds it
unable to switch video modes on your video card and splash_bmp.ko
is failing. Run the `dmesg' command and see if it shows something
like "...video mode switching is only partially supported..."
among boot messages. There is no fix for this at the moment. Sorry.
I get an error 19 if I try to load a splash image bigger than
320x200 because my card (ATI Xpert@Work) needs a DOS TSR to use
higher resolutions when not in Winblows.
