It makes sure the splash screen start as early as possible (don't forget the
"quiet" option). On my systems, it starts immediately after the kernel and
the initrd are loaded.
Kernel panic ... hm ...
How did you generate your initrd? Maybe, it doesn't contain "linuxrc" which
does all the magic before it hands over to the real init process.
