Is this issue present on Raspberrypi or Raspberrypi2?

agherzan commented 8 years ago

Rpi1

telphan commented 8 years ago

Well, this is not exactly a bug. The reason for the splash not showing on rpi1 is slow hardware. It takes too long to show the splash. Therefore the boot finishes before plymouth has a chance of showing splash.

agherzan commented 8 years ago

Yes. We are aware of this but maybe we could optimize boot to inject the splash service sooner in the boot seq services?

telphan commented 8 years ago

There is only one way that springs to mind, but that involves making use of an initramfs.

lurch commented 8 years ago

The new version of Raspbian includes a splashscreen, maybe there's code you can borrow from there?

agherzan commented 8 years ago

Sounds interesting. We will take a look on this.
