After several updates of kernel version ago, I still have an error:

Code: Select all: remove-boot-splash: Format of /boot/initrd-4.14.100-desktop-1.mga6.img not recognized

So bootsplash does not work correctly. I try to remove it but it does not help.
So what I have to do? If any additional info/filecontent is necessary, I will send it.

Any idea what is wrong?

Below content of /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file:

"does not work correctly" means what in particular?
You try to remove what in particular and how?

Best start with adding the output of

Code: Select all: ls -al /boot file /boot/initrd-4.14.100-desktop-1.mga6.img

FWIW, something similar had been reported before, but OP closed it: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19049
From what I can tell, it's output from /usr/share/bootsplash/scripts/remove-boot-splash which happens when it cannot determine the default resolution correctly and it's happening since quite some time:

Simply there is not bootsplash at all (black screen). But bootsplash packege is already installed. But - as I wrote - the only error I found out is:

remove-boot-splash: Format of /boot/initrd-4.14.100-desktop-1.mga6.img not recognized

What graphics card and graphics driver are you using, and what does your /etc/default/grub contain ?

Works fine, without problems, KDE env.

I also have an nvidia card, and this is what I'm using, bootsplash works fine here:

You may want to try installing any additional kernel and see if that error still pops up for both kernels.
But I'd say https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19049 should be reopened / recreated as that issue still happens for quite a few installations, as shown by https://bugs.mageia.org/buglist.cgi?qui ... oot-splash
