Plymouth graphical boot on F12 (not working for me)

[planetf1]

Hi,
I've been running F12/rawhide for months, it's now looking very good, although I'm still getting a text boot rather than graphical.

I'm not sure if my config/method is correct now given the change from mkinitrd to dracut.

Here's what I have in /boot/grub/menu.lst
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.5-96.fc12.i686.PAE rhgb root=/dev/VolGroup00/rootlv ro quiet SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=uk rd_plytheme=spinfinity init=/sbin/bootchartd

bootchartd is for me to check on boot times.

I've also tried
sudo plymouth-set-default-theme spinfinity (this works ok)
sudo /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd

It's this second one that worries me. Since this updates
initrd-2.6.31.5-96.fc12.i686.PAE.img
whilst by default dracut/kernel is now using
initramfs-2.6.31.5-96.fc12.i686.img

Anyone have this working?

:) planetf1, is a possible cut and paste of your /boot/grub/grub.conf possible? :)

For example, below the kernel line, mine has:

initrd /initramfs-2.6.31.1-56.fc12.i686.PAE.img

In my /boot subdirectory, there is no initrd* file...

If possible, could you do a listing of your /boot subdirectory? :)

Hope this helps. ;)

Note that whilst there are initrds, my understanding was that it's now dracut that's used by default (hence the initramfs rather than initrd). Whilst I could swap I'm wonder whether this is
a) just timing/work in progress
b) An issue that needs reporting
c) something I\'ve done wrong....

Thanks
