Plymouth sees a kernel command line containing the text 'splash' anywhere in it
as a request to show a splash screen. This includes a kernel command line
containing "nosplash" or any other text with "splash" in it.
As "nosplash" used to be a way to get rid of the accursed splash screen
back in the day, it's not unheard of to see it on kernel command lines.
The test in main.c:615 in the function
plymouth_should_show_default_splash(state_t * state) reveals why.
return strstr (state->kernel_command_line, "rhgb") != NULL ||
(strstr (state->kernel_command_line, "splash") != NULL &&
strstr(state->kernel_command_line, "splash=verbose") == NULL);
the test for "splash" will match any substring. It should be checking
for " splash" with a trailing space or end-of-string.
Removing "nosplash" from my kernel command line got rid of the splash
screen :S
