Check your typing. Your splashimage line should read:

Code:
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/splash.xpm.gz


I once improperly referenced the Grub splashimage and it made grub do some funky grey jagged-line stuff. So I assume that's what you're talking about. Also, check your other entries, because if they are anything like what you posted, you are assured many many errors.

There are some errors in your "grub.conf". Did you type it out or copy/paste? If you typed it out there's no way of knowing which error is actually in your file and which is one you've made whilst posting.

Edit: too late?
