Pierre, thank you for your bug report. This likely is the same issue which I just did a blog post about (1). Please read my blog post and see if one of the 2 solutions / workarounds provided there works: https://hansdegoede.dreamwidth.org/28552.html 1) I was already planning on doing a blog post and you filing this was the trigger to (finally) get it done
Many thanks! My system was not using the amdgpu driver, so the blacklist approach worked fine resolving the issue here!
On UEFI systems (where we can use the simpledrm /dev/dri/card0 bases on the EFI framebuffer while waiting for the amdgpu driver) this should be resolved by: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/PlymouthUseSimpledrm Note blacklisting amdgpu if it is not used will still lead to a significantly faster boot, but after the above change the splash / graphical spinner should at least show without customizing the install.
