sudo aptitude install imagemagick
convert ubuntugrub.jpg ubuntugrub.xpm
gzip ubuntugrub.xpm
After that, move the ubuntugrub.xpm.gz file to the directory /boot/grub/splashes.
sudo mkdir /boot/grub/splashes
sudo mv ubuntugrub.xpm.gz /boot/grub/splashes
After that, edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and edit /add this line somewhere near the top of the file:
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splashes/ubuntugrub.xpm.gz
Sounds easy enough eh?

http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/21/add-a-grub-splash-image/ (for Ubuntu)
It suggets making a link to the splash file:
sudo ln -s /boot/grub/splashimages/whatever.xpm.gx /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
And then updating grub:
sudo update-grub
It worked fine for me!
