grub uses a gzipped xpm file. The header on the default file for redhat
7.2 is
/* XPM */
static char * grub3_xpm[] = {
"640 480 15 1",
indicating 15 colours. So invoke gimp, choose an indexed image with 15
colours at 640x480 and save it as a gzipped xpm.
Then in grub.conf you'll need a line like
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
I guess lilo does something similar.
