I'm trying to set up Plymouth to get a splash screen at boot. Following the Arch wiki I only get a blank screen at boot.

This is what my config looks like:

Plymouht-git and gdm-plymouth installed.

Initramfs generated with mkinitcpio -p linux-zez

/etc/mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)

BINARIES=()

FILES=()

HOOKS=(systemd sd-plymouth autodetect keyboard keymap modconf block filesystems fsck)

Boot loader systemd-boot, /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf

Kernel modesetting seems to be working. Not exactly sure how to confirm this 100% but I can run Wayland on Nvidia proprietary drivers. Modules are loaded too:

lsmod | grep nvidia

nvidia_drm 73728 4

nvidia_uvm 2551808 0

nvidia_modeset 1155072 7 nvidia_drm

nvidia 36982784 351 nvidia_uvm,nvidia_modeset

​

dmesg | grep drm:

Glxinfo says direct rendering is enabled.

I don't see anything unusual in journalctl nor dmesg. Let me know if you want to have a look and I'll post the output.

So, do you have any ideas why it's not working? Have I missed something?
