Mmmhh. I am not familiar with these options so I blindly copied them, but it
does not work. Only the kernel logs in dmesg, and same as before /dev/vcs1.
Here is my full commandline (tried both with and without plymouth:debug as I
suspect it might be redundant with plymouth.debug= ). An echo in /dev/kmsg
does show up in dmesg ok. I also tried moving the options on the line, still
no cigar.

[    0.000000] Command line: initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live noprompt
nouser splash vga=0x311 plymouth:debug plymouth.debug=file:/dev/kmsg
printk.time log_bug_len=1M BOOT_IMAGE=/live/vmlinuz
