Umm... pardon me for asking, but you've said at least twice that an 
error informs you that splash can't open the config file on 
/etc/splash-- but you've never said that you checked the config file at 
/etc/splash to confirm that it 1) exists 2) is readable (permissions, 
syntax).... does something in or related to /etc/splash (like 
/etc/conf.d/splash, or in some strange twist of fate, 
/etc/init.d/splash, in addition to the config file found in each theme 
folder in /etc/splash itself) have some association with fd0 (the floppy 
drive) for some reason? Do you even have a floppy drive? Even so, the 
splash config file certainly won't be found there.

The nice thing about Linux is that error messages are in fact 
meaningful, and often lead directly to a solution. Perhaps you should 
heed this one a bit more closely.
