Does http://www.bootsplash.org/kernel.html shed any light on the matter?
I've not played with 2.6.X yet and won't do until it's an umasked genkernel
supporting it is released. It looks as if you have to attach your chosen
jpeg splash screen to initrd.

The bootsplash package in Portage is as I understand bootsplash images for
grub. Actually does anyone know if grub can support higher resolutions
than 640x480? It would be nice to have a full screen at boot time for my
laptop.

HTH,
