Workaround is to install KGrubEditor or QGRUBEditor.
Then set the image you want through the software.
Result: the image is displayed.

I have tried via the grub shell (see comment above mine)
Same results,no splashimage in grub

Also tried:
$cd /boot/grub
$sudo ln -s splashimages/debsplash.xpm.gz splash.xpm.gz
$sudo update-grub

update-grub does find a splashimage and asks if it should replace menu.lst
After replacing the file there is a splashimage entry in menu.lst
However the image is not shown, I get a normal text-mode menu.
Tried on a virtual machine with Hardy and an MSI Wind with Interpid, Grub version 0.97.
Used the same image, debsplash.xpm.gz, for all steps.
