This is almost an old foe. Wrote about it various time; but nobody seems 
to know why.
And it has nothing to do with Gentoo, btw., I get it on Debian here and 
there. And it tends to change its appearance. At times it is the 
location of the splashimage; another box runs fine; a third one doesn't 
like it within the auto kernel update, the fourth reads it from behind 
'#', and the fifth doesn't want a single occurrence at all.

Simple to resolve: throw away the splashimage and all its entries. I 
know, that's another way of 'works for me'.
Life is like that, sometimes.
