Like I said before, update the packages fbsplash and fbsplash-extras to
the latest versions, of course, run locate pacnew, adapt the config if
necessary, run mkinitcpio for your kernel(s) as Yaro suggested and then
reboot.

If the issue still persists, please, file the bug report in the AUR
comments of fbsplash-extras and maybe also fbsplash.

The error messages you posted are related to a file which is contained
in fbsplash-extras. Both packages, fbsplash as well as fbsplash-extras,
have been updated a few days ago. So it's most likely that you missed
these updates.

At least I can't reproduce this issue.

And keep in mind that both packages are built upon [core] and not
[testing]. So if you're using [testing] it might be that it breaks
anytime.
