Public bug reported:

In precicse, when the splash screen is enabled, a boot failure that
lands you at the initramfs emergency shell is not shown.  To reproduce,
just edit the boot line at the grub prompt and change the root UUID.  If
you remove the splash argument, you get the initramfs rescue shell like
you should, if you do not, then you are just stuck at the blank plymouth
splash screen forever.

** Affects: plymouth (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
