For starters, one line in your grub.conf says
| Code: | | splash=silent,theme:emergence |
Why? If you want to use DangerGirl, then you don't want to use emergence as well.
Likewise, you're using the emergence initrd. Again, why?

So, any idea what's wrong? Thanks. |
Well, duh... the problem is that the file is missing. 
For each resolution, there must be a config file, with things like parameters for the text area. If there isn't one for your theme, get the one from emergence and adapt it.

Go here
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash
Here's a few tips for message boards:
1. Read the thread. The first post has a link to this article, which is a guide to what you want.
2. Don't start with "I'm newbie" or "I'm a n00b" or any crap like that. It's pointless.

The grub.conf/menu.lst that is on the how to should be enough for you to go by, this part: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash#GRUB_Example.
Anyway, there are a number of things that could not be working. Does your framebuffer work for starters? Once thats working, we can worry about the actual bootsplash.

| intimidat0r wrote: | Haha, I'm an idiot. Okay I fixed grub.conf, now it says that the config file does not specify an 8bpp image for silent or verbose mode.
| Code: | # name of the picture file (full path recommended)
pic=/etc/splash/DangerGirl/images/verbose-1024x768.jpg
silentpic=/etc/splash/DangerGirl/images/silent-1024x768.jpg |
So as you see, it seems like it does (near the top). And using ls confirms that those image files exist as well. Is this another stupid mistake?
Thanks. |
No, these are others. The 8bpp images are indexed png images. See in the emergence theme. I think the one has 240 colors and the other has 256 (should be obvious from the names.) You could also try to run splash_geninitramfs with the --no8bpp option.

Didn't seem to do anything, though I don't know if it should have. |
Usually it should have. I don't know why it didn't, but I have to say that I can't investigate now.
| Quote: | | Can you explain why emergence comes with such images (the PNGs) yet the other themes do not? Weird. |
Seems the author uses another tool to create the initrd, and that tool automatically leaves out the 8bpp versions.
However, to get your 8bpp versions, load the images into gimp, go to Image -> Mode -> Indexed, set the number of colors to 240, save as a png, and add the images to your config. (See the emergence files, again.)
