Although not totally related I experienced this after correcting a SWAP UUID problem. I had resized my SWAP, thus changing the UUID, and after correcting the UUID's in /etc/fstab and /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume, then running "update-initramfs -u" I was still unable to restore the plymouth "quiet splash".
I'd just have a black screen until gdm. If I reinstalled plymouth the "quiet splash" would work one time, then stop again. Creating "/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash" with "FRAMEBUFFER=y" and again running "update-initramfs -u" seems to have "fixed" this with no extreme slow-down in boot.
I probably just need to learn some new tricks regarding UUID hell w/plymouth, ureadahead, and mountall.
