You move the .xpm.gz file to "/boot/backgrounds/", but the screenshot of menu.lst refers to "/boot/grub/backgrounds/" and then the last text refers to "/boot/grub/splashimages/" :-| You’re a bit confusing when all your paths are varying…

First there is: sudo mv ~/background.xpm.gz /boot/backgrounds/ Then: splashimage=XXXXXX/boot/grub/splashimages/bootwallaper.xpm.gz Those directories need to match. I'd say to do create the directory splashimages in /boot/grub instead of the /boot/backgrounds directory.
