I've seen the same or similar error to this-- but only when the
following conditions are met:

1) When using the livecd-2005.0 theme (I've installed the livecd-2005.1
theme, but haven't tried it yet)

2) in verbose mode (in silent mode, I get a kernel panic).

The cause seems to be that the livecd-2005.0 theme is not complete (no
8bpp images), and while I could probably convert copies of the existing
images to 8bpp so that the config would find the images it's looking
for, I really can't be bothered to do so atm.

Emergence works fine (mostly; slight graphical corruption, possibly due
to my ATI card) in both silent and verbose modes. Too bad I don't really
like Emergence, but at least it has a matching GDM theme-- which is more
than can be said for the livecd themes-- so my boot process has at least
a consistent look (if not one I'm most fond of).

What version of splashutils, and kernel are you using, and what splash
theme?

HTH,

Holly
