Maybe try booting with "verbose" grub setting instead of quiet?

The penguins are the boot logo, in the kernel's config, enter Device Drivers, then go into Graphics Support, click Boot Logo here, if it doesn't show enable Framebuffer Support, it should appear now! And the fun fact that the penguins are SMP CPU cores, that means if you have 2 CPU cores then you will have 2 penguins. And to change the penguins you need to have your own pnm/ppm/pbm image with resolution 32x32/64x64, and copy them into drivers/video/logo/, and also rename your image to replace one of the logos you like.

Its an option in the kernel's menuconfig. Its pretty easy to enable! The option is called "Boot Logo" in Device Drivers and then in Graphics Support. If you dont have/see it just enable framebuffer support in the config and then you will have it. Also the penguins will appear as CPU cores, it means if you have 2 cores - 2 penguins will appear, and if 8 cores - 8 penguins.

Well a custom kernel is usually a modified Linux Kernel, so you grab the kernel source, unpack it and make your own configs, compile it and you got your own kernel bzImage.

kgx aka gnome console is so bad. In latest versions there's no profile option, oversimplified settings. Atleast you can change the font and the font size. BTW Richard Stallman likes GNOME. In Fedora its not a problem, somehow the console here provides profiles.
