Plymouth and virtualbox

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

I can't find a precise answer on whether it's possible to use plymouth
splash screens during systems booting inside VirtualBox.

There's quite a number of hits when looking for answer on google, but
nothing really explaining... just mentions of "this won't work with
virtualbox" or likes, nothing more elaborate I could spot.

The best I could get is a "three dots" splash screen, but nothing really
fancy, with either of the different themes, I've tested :-/

I'm testing this on a Debian testing/jessie VM, with standard kernel.

Is there a particular incompatibility between plymouth and the
VirtualBox emulated graphics card ?

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,
