There is no growing bar.  That's not as designed ;)  It's me doing 
probably something wrong.  The bar is there, but it stays empty (does 
not fill up).

I've done that, same result.  The progress bar stays empty.  There is no 
animation.  No messages (like the percentage indicator and things like 
"GPM started").

I've followed this guide: http://gentoo-wiki.com/Fbsplash
