I was doing some testing today on aml-s9xx-box builds and noticed that with meson64-current (6.0.13) kernels the boot logo is showing, but with meson64-edge (6.1.0) kernels it does not.

 

I know there was a recent commit that probably is causing this, something about removing the old way of handling boot logos.

 

So my question is, what needs to change to convert to the new way?

 

I suspect it has something to do with the append line that the build process is inserting into the extlinux.conf file:

  append root=UUID=0ffde9aa-5a6a-4d6f-bbef-0d8daf439537  rw no_console_suspend c
onsoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 bootsplash.bootfile=boo
tsplash.armbian

Keeping kernel bootsplash is getting out of control ... it was disabled while we anyway moved to plymouth. Check here: https://github.com/armbian/build/pulls?q=is%3Apr+plymouth+

@Igor  Thanks for that info, I was able to track down what was the cause.  I will have some additional questions when I get time to attempt a fix.
