I've noticed when removing quiet, but leaving splash, you get double kernel messages. The first set are normal text output and then again when plymouth takes over and re-displays them, but this time a lot slower.
Anyone else run across this? The LVM bug is interesting, as our default preseed creates 5 LVM volumes for the rootfs. Could explain why a lot of my installs and boots are failing.
