a little digging and plymouth is supposed to work with drm modesetting
drivers which means i915 has to be loaded for it to work .. so not
seeing it means ..some hardware detection has failed .. is that part of
plymouth or something else?

since it works on the upgraded install on sda1 I suspect a config file
change relating to hardware detection and "autoload" by systemd  .. i'm
not familiar with that magic .. I only know that manual override via
/etc/modules etc. is possible.. not required on sda1

I noticed that issues with xorg function started arround march 16, 2019 .. 
first bug report ..missing xorg-server install .. #1820430 .. march 8, 2019 iso 
was okay as far as i can remember ..
unfortunately .. those dailys are bit vapor so no way to re test .. unless i 
can re-download .. is there an archive? I haven't looked.
