Plymouth does not show splash on ZFS equipped machine and more

Good evening all, having some issues with Plymouth on my ZFS Arch install. I have triple checked that

plymouth

is in my mkinitcpio hooks, and i've even tried a package from the aur called

plymouth-zfs

which also does not work. My current hooks looks like this:

HOOKS=(base udev autodetect microcode modconf kms keyboard keymap consolefont block  plymouth plymouth-zfs zfs filesystems fsck)

and my plymouthd.conf is default with one change, the theme being bgrt.

My second issue is related to "faces" not showing up in sddm, even though I have copied the image I want to both

/usr/share/sddm/faces

and

/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/faces

but they do not show up no matter what.

Have you done this?

If you want to see the splash screen, append splash to the kernel parameters

For your second question: Experience has shown that it is a good idea to open one thread per problem, unless you have reasons to believe that they are connected.

I believe I missed adding splash to my kernel parameters, thank you for pointing that out, that fixed it. And my apologies for posting 2 issues in 1. I will create a separate issue now.
