Package: plymouth Version: 0.9.4-1.1 Severity: important Dear maintainers,
After discussing with Systemd maintainer at #943392, it appears that plymouth can be installed as early as within the RAMFS. This is IMO needed, let me explain why. When using bootlogd and sysv-rc, it used to be that it was the thing to do the console output multplexing. With Systemd, it's Plymouth that does this, combined with the kernel command line. If one is using output to both tty0 and ttyS1, then Plymouth looks like starting-up too late, and some output aren't displayed in tty0. FYI, my grub command line is: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nosplash text console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200 earlyprintk=ttyS1,115200 consoleblank=0 systemd.show_status=true " Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
