I was wrong, the kernel has no interest in "splash" and I suspect it is plymouth displaying the unwanted messages. Perhaps we're not necessarily seeing the kernel log though. Are we just seeing systemd messages (PLY_ENABLE_SYSTEMD_INTEGRATION)? If that's it then we just need to make sure plymouthd's default mode is to not display anything (till DRM is ready with graphics).

Basically, the flow used to be in 20.04: GRUB > Splash screen > Login prompt Currently in 22.04: GRUB > Splash screen > Messages (in the attached file) > Splash screen again for a sec > Login prompt All of those messages already existed in 20.04, the difference is that they were not appearing during boot. I was able to get rid of the "usb" related messages by just adding "loglevel=0" in GRUB. Currently is "quiet loglevel=0 splash". Regarding the fsck related message, I can get rid of them by adding "fsck.mode=skip". However, I do not want to just disable fsck or set the loglevel to 0. This is not a sustainable solution. Something definitely changed here. These messages are not of enough relevance to be shown at boot by default, and they should remain hidden like they were in Focal. Obviously a minor issue, but important to the whole look and feel of the OS for desktop.
