CentOS - May 2017 - plymouth themes problem

Hi all!

I was playing with plymouth themes on a c7 box. I found a page on
redhat, in their rhel7 documentation that describes how to change to
a different plymouth screen:

plymouth-set-default-theme --list
to find out what themes are installed.

then I installed the remaining bunch the yum had available.

so then installing one by doing

plymouth-set-default-theme <theme name>
dracut -f

as documented on the aforementioned page, followed by a reboot
produces NO plymouth splash screen. not even if I revert to the
system default theme (the "charge" theme).

Anybody know what I'm overlooking here?

thanks!

Fred

Do you have "rhgb quiet" on the kernel command line? If not, they can
be
added in /etc/default/grub.
