Though before the daemons boot screen appears it seems i get for a second a flash screen like if splashy tried to start but didnt success.
Is there anyway to see a log or something to realize what could be the problem?
There might be, either /var/log/splashy.log or in /var/log/daemon.log. I don't actually use this myself anymore, so I'm not sure how I can help you unfortunently.
Okay, nevermind. I installed Plymouth and it works just fine n.n

Well, where did you get instructions for update-initramfs then? The article doesn't even mention it at all.
Either way, you use mkinitcpio to rebuild your initrd,
mkinitcpio -p linux
if you use the standard arch kernel. For the grub question:
You now need to set quiet splash as you kernel command line parametres in your bootloader. The following is an example for Grub2 and /boot/grub/grub.cfg (the legacy Grub and Lilo follow the same pattern):
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/... ro quiet splash
So, in other words, just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, add quiet and splash to the end of the kernel line.

I have done all what wiki says about Splashy but i had two issues and i am not sure if any of them was the problem.
First one. The wiki says we have to re-generate grub.cfg with the command "# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg", but i do not have GRUB2 but GRUB, so what command should I use?
Second one. When i change a theme the console says i have to update the initramfs with the next command: "update-initramfs -u", but everytime i try to use it it says "Command not found".
Until now i still have no splashy so i guess it's related to something of the previous steps. Anyone knows what should i do?
Maybe you should have a look at the arch wiki instead of whatever other wiki you seem to be using: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Splashy

dude... thanks for your post ... I've switched to gentoo since then

Compiling uswsusp 0.8 from http://suspend.sourceforge.net with '--enable-splashy' raises an error:
checking for splashy_open in -lsplashy... no
configure: error: Required libsplashy was not found
I got it working with the 0.9 source from here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/g … -utils.git
]]>Possible to do this without touching the official initscripts? I would prefer having the initscripts package installed, as initscripts-splashy is not really needed. And using initscripts-splashy could lead to breakage when updating etc.
No, it's not possible because the rc.shutdown script must be patched to let splashy work properly at shutdown. I always used initscripts-splashy instead of initscripts and had no problems.
