I was able to reproduce this on a machine with intel video only by doing the following:
- edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth to comment out /lib/plymouth/renderers/drm.so and regenerate my initramfs
- boot with i915.modeset=0 set
This is noteworthy because it appears the frame-buffer renderer does work when the framebuffer is intel, it just doesn't work when it's vga16fb. Will continue working on debugging this, and will reboot again with the drm renderer enabled to reconfirm that plymouth does work with i915.modeset=0.
