When I rebooted my system goes to the grub screen. Again I had to enter entering rescue mode to alter all changes to boot sucessfully.
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?
I have attached my grub.conf for your reference.

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