I am experiencing similar if not identical difficulties with Plymouth under Lucid x64. The only difference is that immediately after selecting boot options in grub I receive the following message:
"init: plymouth main process (???) terminated with status 69" The "???" represents a number which is different upon each boot (i.e. it is not consistent). Thereafter, the terminal 'hangs' for a few seconds before displaying the message described by Colin, specifically: "mountall could not connect to plymouth" Thereafter a series of error concerning, from what I was able to read during the short boot time, udev and fsck. Since these error messages were relatively extensive and were only on screen for a fleeting moment I am unable to elaborate further. I have attempted to enable boot logging via the usual method (i.e. inserting BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes into /etc/default/bootlogd) but the boot log (/var/log/boot) is strangely empty. This may bare some relation to Bug #125710. In any case, if someone would be so kind as to provide me with detailed instructions on how to enable boot logging within Lucid I'd be glad to provide a full log of this behaviour. Interestingly, whilst plymouth appears reluctant to rear its head during boot time it does appear when rebooting/shutting down. Although in this instance the colour depth is less than perfect (i.e. 24-bit).
