After updating the kernel (and generating a new initram with dracut) I noticed that plymouth stopped working. After looking at dracut's output, I've noticed: dracut: *** Including module: plymouth *** grep: /usr/lib/plymouth/plymouth-populate-initrd: No such file or directory dracut-install: ERROR: installing '/etc/system-release' dracut: FAILED: /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install -D /var/tmp/dracut.5ZrewT/initramfs -a plymouthd plymouth /etc/system-release Indeed, /usr/lib/plymouth/plymouth-populate-initrd is missing. Reinstalling plymouth doesn't fix the problem.
It is a regression in dracut-047 caused by the following commit: https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/commit/421b46f8ae89cfe2b62e880a8a5079ee8c1b3aae
Please try with the patch from https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/386
