Hi,
I want to hide the messages of startup and boot up Debian, and then show the splash screen (logo) instead of messages.
I did some work using Plymouth, but it didn't work so well. I tried to use kernel, bootup logo, but they didn't work on my system.
Recently I used FBI and wrote script on /etc/init.d/ but it didn't work.
Are you suggesting boot spash logo which would be BIOS or initial kernel boot in Debian which I think is what you tried. I am not clear in what the objective is as I assume a user can switch to any Terminal runtime Crtl+Atl F1-F7. I did change BIOS and also fiddled with basic Linux to have a clean boot-up, with or without logo but depending on the runmode terminal I switched to gives feedback or blank or Logo with login prompt. But what about remote boot via another terminal, what would you like to be displayed?
Using Ubuntu (with debian under the hood) the messages are hidden by default. I actually do the opposite - disable the splash screen to see what is the problem, when a boot problem occurs.
This post might help you, just keep in mind that you want the opposite, and probably live in pure debian:

You could try fbi-splashscreen (https://github.com/niklasf/fbi-splashscreen) or Splashy (https://alioth.debian.org/projects/splashy/).
Where did you find the init.d script for FBI?
However, are you really sure about the splash screen? Bootup messages, even if old-fashioned and ugly, are much more informative about the state of your system than a splash screen.
