Er, this is a made-up boot option. This does not "disable plymouth" at all - the only thing you've actually done here is disable the plymouth *splash screen* by removing the "splash" option from the boot config.

And this is superfluous and *dangerous*. You don't have to rewrite the boot block every time you update your grub config!

Anyway, you don't mention why you felt the need to take these steps - if your system was hanging, or simply displaying an unpleasant warning message at boot time. The unpleasant warning message is taken care of with plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu2.1 in lucid-proposed, and will also soon be fixed in maverick-proposed. This is bug #649917.
