Issue persists in Hardy. Package involved: grub-splashimages.
1. I renamed one of the files to splash.xpm.gz
2. Moved the file to /boot
3. Ran update-grub:
root@zebra:/boot# update-grub
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Searching for default file ... found: /boot/grub/default
Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst
Searching for splash image ... found but preserving previous setting: splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/splash.xpm.gz
Found kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic
Found kernel: /memtest86+.bin
Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done
root@zebra:/boot#

That is pretty much where I am at. I tried to display the images under the grub prompt as indicated a couple comments ago. It seems like my version of grub does not have splashimage in it because after I mount the partition with the command root (hd0,0) and try to enter the splashimage command I get an error 27.

grub> root (hd0,0)
root (hd0,0)
grub> splashimage /boot/splash.xpm.gz
splashimage /boot/splash.xpm.gz

Error 27: Unrecognized command

I tried placing the file in /boot/grub with the same results.

Let me know if you need extra information.
