There is a file "_sbin_plymouthd.0.crash" in /var/crash.
When the system does successfully boot, running ubuntu-bug from the command line gives me the opportunity to create this bug.
Sometime our systems with this hardware and software combo boot OK.
Sometimes we get a black screen.
Sometimes we get a black screen with a mouse cursor.
Sometimes we get a text login prompt. After a text login, sometimes "startx" will work, sometimes not.
Sometimes we get GRUB menu (I think this is from GRUB failure recovery?).
Sometimes we get "mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth" Pressing enter at this point allows the system to boot.
We are reviewing all the system logs trying to determine the cause (or at least a work-around).
