Description
chwd doesn't add the amdgpu (or the nvidia) module into the mkinicpio.conf file after the install, which results in the themes not working, this is a pretty straightforward fix afaik :D
Has been happening to me for the past three ISO installs.

Research direction
Start by tracing chwd's GPU detection and post-install handling of mkinitcpio.conf, focusing on how amdgpu and nvidia modules are selected. Reproduce an install with a Plymouth theme, then verify the appropriate module is added to mkinitcpio.conf and the theme works after reboot.
