Bug Description
while i can see the splash fine if i add a break= statement to my kernel commandline and manually ctrl-d out of the initrd shell,
using plymouth without a break statement causes a hard reboot of the system.

To post a comment you must log in.
doing some research it seems the panic() function that is called by maybe_break in the initramfs scripts executes /scripts/ panic/console_ setup. calling /scripts/ panic/console_ setup from /init right before the run-init execution makes boots without break= possible and fixes the splash (well, apart from it being in portrait mode despite the tty being in landscape, but thats a different bug)
