Carl,
If your install initially setup for 640x480, you won't have a graphical boot, it will always stay text. I had that happen on an older machine I setup a few months ago with weak builtin video. It displays nicely in KDE, but I never bothered to try to change the boot up. I once adjusted that on an install and forever got the question about what screen I wanted to use after that! So now, I just let it choose, don't bother it and set my final screens as I wish later.
Don't know if that was your problem or not, just thought it might be of some interest, if it was.

If you want bootsplash to work, add an entry vga=0x??? as grub parameter
choose 0x??? according to the capabilities of your system, in order to know you can run : hwinfo --framebuffer
then run : mkinitrd
and the splash screen will be there at next boot.
Michel.
According to hwinfo Mode 0x031a: 1280x1024 (+2560), 16 bits is what I am already using but its still a mode at boot. linux:/home/cwsiv # cat /boot/grub/menu.lst # Modified by YaST2.
