Sorry for the late answer.
First, the binary is in the package, look in ../boot for the message.ubuntumsk-1280x1024 file, it's the precompiled message.
For compiling, you need an older package. The gfxboot package from Ubuntu didn't work here either. I have grub-gfxboot 0.97-11 running and compiled the message with gfxboot-3.2.35-1.
Finally someone build 1280x1024 gfxboot theme resolution..i would to change the image background but i can't find gfxboot-devel package working on my machine :( (debian amd64) ...
when i try to compile this stuff i got this error message:
make bootdir
mkbootmsg -O -v -L ../.. -l boot/log -c boot.config boot/init
make: mkbootmsg: Command not found
make: *** [bootdir] Error 127
Is mkbootmsg a part of gfx-devel package?
If so, how to find it?
thanks :)
Edit /etc/default/grub file. Find the line starting with "#GRUB_THEME" and change it to "GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub/themes/[THEME_FOLDER]/[theme.txt]" (replace [THEME_FOLDER] ; [theme.txt] is probably OK ; remove "[]" brackets)

Could you please add a binary download alternative?
I think the way to do it is through virtualization (eg. vmware etc) I don't have enough RAM to do that :)
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I can't do this. So if someone can send me a screenshot I will it update here.
