I also have this issue, with a HP dv6700 series laptop. A workaround which successfully gets me to the desktop is to hit shift as soon as the live-usb starts to load, select my language, hit F6 to get to advanced configuration, and manually edit the boot parameters to remove the word 'quiet'. I presume this means that plymouth isn't loaded.
