I believe plymouth is having trouble connecting to the /dev/fb0 but I'm unsure of where to start. I want a minimal image so I started with the latest Jessie console snapshot from <a href="http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Jessie_Snapshot_console" class="">http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Jessie_Snapshot_console</a>. I have the latest plymouth 0.9.0-9 installed as well. I have added the following kernel parameters to my /boot/uEnv.txt file:<div class=""> </div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal; widows: 1; border: 1px solid rgb(187, 187, 187); word-wrap: break-word; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);" class=""><code class=""><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;" class="">optargs=splash plymouth:debug plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles</div></code></div>Without "ignore-serial-consoles" I see the "details" theme displayed on boot as I expect since it falls back to details when it detects a serial console. When changing to a different theme, the boot hangs for quite a while and I notice plymouth errors. Also, looking at the debug log that it created, it looks like plymouth found my screen and connected to it properly but it just crashed... <div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal; widows: 1; border: 1px solid rgb(187, 187, 187); word-wrap: break-word; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);" class=""><code class=""><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;" class="">[main.c:1943] check_logging:checking if console messages should be redirected and logged [main.c:1952] check_logging:logging will be enabled!
