5.19.8 kernel update in Cooker VirtualBox no longer causes Plymouth splash screen to display

Kernel was updated to 5.19.8 and in both Plasma and Xfce Cooker VirtualBoxes, the Plymouth splash screen no longer appears at bootup. Only a black screen with three small white boxes now appears. I’m sure this will eventually affect Rolling once that kernel is updated.

Bug report (with screen picture (from mobile)) has been filed.

I had the exact same problem with Fedora a few years ago, installed on HDD and it was determined to be kernel-related pertaining to the video at the time. It was eventually fixed. I was not able to find that original bug report at Fedora.

$ uname -r
5.19.7-desktop-1omv4090

In both my Plasma and Xfce Cooker VirtualBoxes, 5.19.6-desktop-1omv4090 and 5.19.7-desktop-1omv4090 will successfully display the OpenMandriva bootsplash.

5.19.8-desktop-1omv4090 will cause it to display the same three white boxes.

The gcc kernel also displays the three boxes, instead of the OM bootsplash.

Was the kernel the only package updated?

PS>
Please boot to the previous working kernel(s). Same or different behaviour?

@rugyada

Other packages were installed. The history is below.

desktop-kernel versions 5.19.6 and 5.19.7 will display the OpenMandriva splash screen.

desktop-kernel version 5.19.8 does not, same for desktop-kernel-gcc 5.19.8.

Also, when removing kernel-desktop-gcc, there’s reference to fgrep being obsoleted, replaced by grep-F (also added to bug report.)
