Binary package hint: plymouth

Testing Lucid on my four-year old Laptop with Intel-Centrino platform, currently the splash screen is not displayed during boot.
The splash (still) displays fine during shut-down, though.

- In the past this worked just fine. When I first installed Lucid alpha-3 I had the following behaviour:
After after a long time (15 seconds) the new splash screen showed up for a couple of seconds before a smooth transition to the gdm-login-screen.

- Since a couple of weeks the splash does not show up every time during boot.
Actually it showed up only twice during this time:
a) Only once during boot, I had a animated splash (showing snow).
b) Some days ago I had (only once, again) a oversized splash with ugly colour transitions (16 colour mode? 256 colour mode?).

Additional information:
I was looking for existing bug-reports on launchpad and suspected to suffer from bug #540801 - however the suggested workaround didn't solve my issue. This suggests that the problem is not that the splash is started to late during boot. Therefore I guess that this is a different issue.
