Created attachment 573528 [details] config file for genkernel-next Using sys-kernel/genkernel-next-69 on AMD64 Specifying a plymouth theme such as solar or breeze in /etc/genkernel.conf leads to genkernel always using the "text" theme and then include that in the resulting initramfs. Output from genkernel: >> Installing plymouth [ using the text theme and plugin: "text" ]... Specifying the theme using the command line works: genkernel --plymouth --plymouth-theme=solar initramfs Output from genkernel: >> Installing plymouth [ using the solar theme and plugin: "space-flares" ]... Other options such as selecting a compression method for the initramfs seems to work just fine. Output from genkernel: >> Compressing cpio data (.lzo)...
Not passing any command line arguments fixes this behavior and the initramfs is built correctly: genkernel initramfs produces the desired result. Apologies for wasting dev time.
