DEPRECATED
Sorry. This splash screen is based on usplash, which is deprecated. It won't work on Ubuntu 10.04 or newer.
This is another version of the usplash theme fingerprint, working with the resolution of 1024 * 768.
Why another Version?
All the others did not work on my machine, so I customized the code and the pictures a bit and now it works.
How to install?
Just install the .deb package, install via ppa or compile the source code yourself
This Package is available in my ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~phylu/+archive/usplash-theme-fingerprint
Silent or Verbose?
To use the blue text box (screenshot 2) for some booting messages just delete the "quiet" on the boot entry in you menu.lst.
I found a Bug! What now?
Please leave a comment, with a description of the bug. Also post the boot-entry of your menu.lst, which linux distribution you use, and what version. The version of the fingerprint theme is also important.
PPA has changed!

This splash screen is based on usplash which was replaced in Ubuntu several versions back with plymouth. Therefore it will not work on current versions.
I don't think that I will release a Plymouth version, though.

I hope to have enough time soon, to work on a Plymouth version. But I cannot promise anything. Help would be highly appreciated.

sudo usplash -c in terminal I get this error: usplash: can't get console font: Invalid argument
ioctl(TIOCSCTTY): Operation not permitted
I'm currently running Ubuntu 9.10 with grub2, so no editing of the menu.lst (as far as I know anyway)

You need to sudo gedit /etc/default/grub and change this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to this GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
Then run sudo update-grub. Reboot.
Fixed it for me.

But if you find the right parameters for grub you should put them into
/etc/default/grub
to get the silent mode working.
The next new version is planned to be based on plymouth.

So how do I get the blue box to work?

The blue text box is really blue for me (rather than the turquoise in your screenshot), which looks ugly with everything else. I commented out "quiet" from menu.lst to at least see if it'll hide the blue box, but the text never showed up.
Second thing is I really liked the "Most powerful Operating System..." but I see you took it out. :(
I'm using Jaunty.
Other than that, good stuff!

When i do:
"sudo usplash -c"
it doesn't work, and tell:
"usplash: can't get console font: Invalid argument
usplash: Setting mode 1152x864 failed
usplash: Using mode 1024x768
usplash: No usable theme found for 1024x768
screen init failed
"

You could try to download the latest version (which is for jaunty) and compile it yourself. I do unluckily have no longer a hardy machine to pre-compile it.
There is also the problem that the text box in verbose mode is too small and if you use an ext-filesystem the filesystem-check will use more space and go beyond the border of the text box.
I hope i could help.
