You will have to repair the grub package, afterwards repair the bootloader (hoping you still have a backup of menu.lst) and you'll get back to the default splash.
Just to let you know.

Also, by giving the command (from konsole) rpm -iv grub-gfxboot-0.97-6.i386.rpm it says thats conflicts with the default GRUB installed packages.
So, how can I safely remove GRUB and install the grub-gfx package? Is there any other way?
Please give some tips. Thank you, in advance.
