Re: plymouth package issue
Hello, Concerning the warning, are there official information about hardware limitations of Plymouth? We are interested in providing a nice boot screen for our distro targeting children (DoudouLinux), it is then important for us to be sure there won't be too many hardware configurations that fail to boot. As a workaround I saw that Splashy is back to testing/unstable, a backport may be a good alternative, although it may not show as early as Plymouth does. Cheers, JM.

Great, that worked.

Re: plymouth package issue
Thanks for the warning. I haven't used plymouth ever but is the way I found to make boot process nicer. If there are others I will thank any suggestion. We need to make our Kiosk (pxe + nfs netboot) bott process nicer since marketing people don't like so many info at boot time and they want a nice image with our log an so on ...
