I've removed BOOT_MSG.  Still no go.  It says "Initializing the kernel" 
and nothing else happens.

One thing I noticed is that:

splash_geninitramfs -g /boot/splash1280x1024 -r 1280x1024 livecd-2007.0

only includes the JPEG images in the initrd image.  Things like 
"icons/apmd_started.png", "icons/sysklogd_started.png", etc, are not 
included.  I've included them manually (-o /etc/splash/livecd-2007.0) 
but still no go; the splash remains static :(
