You can change the shutdown graphics just by changing a file, but not the startup. The reason is that the startup graphics are in the initrd image, so you have to remake it. You can either reinstall a new kernel or run /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --dracut --depmod --update `uname -r` If I have your permission, I will put this graphic in. It does look very nice.
