I think Jeremy might be using framebuffers, at least I met with the penguin when I started to use framebuffers. My experience is that the logo disappears when you need the space, i.e. when you start a ncurses program. Doesn't it go away with Cltr-l? I did not find any boot option for not displaying the logo in kernel-documentation (Documenation/logo.txt and Documentation/fb/*.txt).
