Hi Luca, I have installed the latests iso on two different x86_64 machines. The system journal one of these installs showed plymouth segfaulting the other had no issue. The problem machine used AMD processors. The Intel machine showed no problem. I also fully updated a i586 install via the repos (you have to install perl- URPM as a download to get the repos to work as the kernel provides from the hdlist overflow the buffers on the installed one) The range of graphics were intel and AMD/ATI I have not yet tried nVidia and it's possible that that is the common factor. In every case I used the opensource drivers. I did not need to install an older version of plymouth. In each case the procedure was to install the new theme to the appropriate directory, install plymouth-two-step, modify plymouthd.conf to call the new theme and then to rebuild initrd with 'dracut -f'. Just to be sure that I have tested absolutely everything I will install an nVidia graphics card in the most problematic machine and see if I can get a segfault, though I do feel that my testing had been sufficiently thorough to justify my comment particularly since the 3.15.10 kernel fixed a machine which was constantly segfaulting in KDE. Watch this space. Best, Colin
