I have checked that grub is not showing the splash image when an UUID root is used, which seems the default way 'update-grub' configures 'splashimage' variable in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
An example of a non-working 'splashimage':
Although, using old root notation works. In my case:
splashimage=(hd0,4)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
I have tried using the UUID in 'groot' variable (which is filled right but commented by default) and letting 'splashimage' just containing the image path and it works aswell.
