Linux logo is great, but when placed in right corner of the screen
it usually flickers and when positioned in the left corner, it doesn't
allow kernel messages to scroll (which doesn't look to good...).

(or thw right if you like) together with some (four?) unscrollable
lines with basic system information. The rest of the screen would
be left for normal kernel messages. Something like this:
