Could you try:
# yum install plymouth\*
# plymouth-set-default-plugin fade-in (or some other one)
# /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd

And redo the reboot.

If the splash changes then youre on the right lines, if not then make sure 
you're booting into the kernel you just made the initrd for.
Are you booting using a special renamed initrd?
