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.
