1 <snip>
2 splash.xpm.gz was removed from /boot/grub by person or persons unknown
3 presumably incident to an update.
4 splash.xpm.gz still exists at /usr/share/grub/splash.xpm.gz so running:
5 cp /usr/share/grub/splash.xpm.gz /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
6 will restore the status quo ante
7 running:
8 emerge grub-splashes
9 will add 8 new .xpm.gz files to /boot/grub/, as none of these is named
10 splash.xpm.gz, simply emerging grub-splashes will not restore the boot
11 screen. To use one of the new splashes requires editing grub.conf 's
12 "splashimage= " line to reflect one of the (no doubt) wonderfully decorative
13 splashes..
14 Alternatively, delete or comment the "splashimage= " line and fallback to a
15 plain undecorated boot options menu.
