genkernel 3.3.5 when invoked with the --gensplash-res command argument in addition to the --gensplash=/path-to-theme it specified that the splash configuration is missing. But a simple ls to /etc/splash/selected-theme shows that the files are there. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the gensplash themes you would like to use like livecd-2005.1 2. Invoke genkernel with the arguments: genkernel all --menuconfig --install --gensplash=/etc/splash/livecd-2005.1 --gensplash-res=1024x768 Actual Results: Kernel compiles fine, but genkernel gives this message at the end. >> Installing gensplash [ using the /etc/splash/livecd-2005.1 theme ]... Warning: config file for theme '/etc/splash/livecd-2005.1', resolution 1024x768 does not exist! Expected Results: The splash configuration should be find without problems.

sorry, it was a bug in my config. It works fine, closing the bug as invalid. Also as a suggestion, genkernel docs should be a bit cleaner (maybe a sample) about this. I tried the full theme path and only the theme name was needed, in both genkernel and on grub theme instruction.
