<Solved> rEFInd and Plymouth

Hello !
I like to have a graphical boot and Plymouth is good to have a splashboot.
However, I am unable to use Plymouth with rEFInd.
Is there any additionnal configuration that I have to do when using Plymouth with rEFInd?
Before using rEFInd, Plymouth worked fine.
I want to know if someone here had the same problem and, if so, what was the solution.
Thanks for your help.

Is KMS starting? If you already had working plymouth (with grub, I guess), only new change you should make is adding quiet splash to kernel line in rEFInd config (/boot/efi/EFI/arch/refind_linux.conf if you followed wiki).

Re: <Solved> rEFInd and Plymouth

I found the problem:
the kernel image was not updated in /boot/efi/EFI/arch.
So I followed the instruction in the wiki to get it updated each time it is updated.
And now, Plymouth works fine.
