Description of problem:
The boot splash rendered by Plymouth is sometimes interrupted and either a text-mode boot screen flashes and disrupts the continuity of the splash, or the splash disappears for several seconds or till the completion of the boot process and the text mode is displayed instead, without any boot messages in both cases. I have noticed that when this does happen, it always does so when the system attempts to start the Plymouth service. What I cannot understand is, since the message about starting the Plymouth service appears quite late in the boot sequence (the service is apparently started after several others), how and/or why is the splash screen shown before that anyway? Also, I could not figure out whether this problem is caused by Plymouth or systemd, so I have not been able to select the proper component for this bug report.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Often

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot a Fedora desktop system with Plymouth enabled.
  
Actual results:
The splash screen is sometimes interrupted by display of the text mode.

Expected results:
The splash screen is displayed continuously in an uninterrupted manner during the entire boot process.

Additional info:
I have installed my system, on which this happens, from a live image on a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop with integrated Intel GM45 graphics.
