Rebuilding initrd to exclude plymouth should work, but first try 
splash=verbose on cmdline. You don't need noquiet to not have quiet. Just 
remove quiet to get the default of not quiet. Playmouth=0 ought to work as 
well, as should splash=0, which splash=verbose at least used to be an alias 
of, which in turn at least used to be an alias of the default of no splash of 
any kind.
