Enable Graphical Boot with Plymouth
Hi Friends,
I am sharing you a very nice method for Fancy boot with Playmouth in Fedora.
Step 1:- Backup your Grub File
cp /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.bkp
Step 2:- Start Editing your Grub file using your favorite text editor.
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=0af45fa6-7f43-415d-b78d-9c5d5799914f rhgb quiet vga=792 (Add this)
save & exit
If you would like to add some more themes then install following packages:-
yum install plymouth-plugin-{fade-in,pulser,spinfinity}
Now set your theme as default by executing following command:-
plymouth-set-default-plugin <pluginname>
/usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd

It appears that in rawhide they have dropped part of the name
Installed:
plymouth-plugin-spinfinity.i586 0:0.7.0-0.2009.03.10.3.fc11
[root@penfold ~]# plymouth-set-default-plugin plymouth-plugin-pulser
/usr/lib/plymouth/plymouth-plugin-pulser.so does not exist
But if you locate:
locate plymouth | grep -i pul
/usr/lib/plymouth/pulser.so
So maybe try
1.plymouth-set-default-plugin pulser
then /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd
