Just finished, installed it, but unfortunately no joy - same thing 
happens: plymouth "text" theme appears, large text fonts and VGA-type 
resolution. No obvious errors, but I did notice that initramfs is about 
500k smaller, compared to the .34 version, so I wonder is there anything 
missing/excluded by dracut when building the initramfs file?
