So, does your new splash image appear properly?
Your /boot partition is /dev/hda3 and / is /dev/hda5?
Whe you're in grub, do all of the following commands return (hd0,2)?
find /grub/stage1
find /grub/stage2
find /grub/menu.lst
Does the command
configfile /grub/menu.lst
bring up your menu?

Curious. Your menu says "Red Hat Linux 9.0" but you appear to be booting a
rather old Red Hat 8.0 kernel...
