I am using an Arch Linux system with legacy grub. I have configured a boot time splash image which appears when the grub menu comes up when booting but disappears when a selection is made and the OS starts to boot. How can I keep the splash image always on at boot time?
Appreciate any pointers and thanks in advance.
EDIT: Also, I use the "quiet splash loglevel=2" kernel options but I see messages on the console "Starting .... [DONE]" How can I mute these messages?

You need to install special package from aur, called fbsplash.

There is although plymouth, but it is hard to configure.

@supportnti
Have you tried 'splash=silent' or other options?

Thanks. I am installing fbsplash. Meanwhile I have tried to configure plymouth without success. I get the error pasted below when I run mkinitcpio - p kernel26 after installing plymouth (0.8.3) and changing 'HOOKS' line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to include 'plymouth'.
I am on a legacy system which is running 2.6.31-ARCH. I can't upgrade it as there is other proprietary software which will have to be fine tuned.
Appreciate any help/pointers.

EDIT: same error with fbsplash as well -
