Startup animation does not display

[Silent Assasin]

I have reflashed twice in PPCKitchen. Actually learned to install sub-boot splash images I found from internet. I have the iwash girl set in my animated splash screen. She is just cleaning that glass nicely... Anyway, the image is animated. when I run PPCKitchen I get to the RUU with no hiccups. I install and soft reset. I get all of the images I selected except for the animated gif. I even tried to default Sprint animated install and nothing. I am running 6.1. Is this a 6.1 glitch. I recall using 6.1. with no problems previously.
