(Get the code!)
Some filesystem checkers (notably for ext2, which most newbies will be using) do give progress information. If such a checker is being run, usplash could monitor the information which it sends and show a status bar, and only go into text mode if something unexpected happens (or it receives no information within a certain timeframe). It could also go back in to graphics mode after fsck is finished (or even display the information in a window, like the Fedora usplash).
