If u still use ubuntu then this should help.
You will have to this from inside ubuntu.

sachin_kothari was referring to the method mentioned in that release. :)

Installation:

Copy the file (*.xpm.gz) to e.g. /boot/grub/

(sudo cp *.xpm.gz /boot/grub)

Then add the following line to your /boot/grub/menu.lst:

splashimage=(hdx,x)/boot/grub/<filename>.xpm.gz

Change the (hdx,x) appropriately.

Your title says "setting Grub Splash" and now you are asking for boot splash.
May be this is what you want.

The title is misleading. Anyways, here is what you are looking for: *help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto

It has not been tested by me so I can't give any guarantee that it'll work.

Before doing that you may try renaming the usplash theme you want to ubuntu-usplash.so or whatever the default name is and try.

apt-get install splashy(debian way for boot splash)? or if gnome boot splash=>apt-get install gnome-splashscreen-manager
