I'll give it a try.  I should note too that while I can't tell where boot is
hung, it doesn't even respond to ping, so it's somewhere north of network
start up.

Title:
  No login screen unless "quiet splash" removed from boot line

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm not entirely sure this is a Plymouth bug, but here is what's going
  on.

  MacBook Pro 1,1 running latest Quantal.

  This machine was running 12.04 just fine, then I upgraded it to 12.10.
  Now, whenever I boot it, I just end up with a black screen, no login
  screen, no apparent cursor, no response to keyboard.

  If, at the grub screen, I edit the boot line and remove "quiet
  splash", the machine boots to its login screen, although it sometimes
  takes quite a long time.  I don't see much on the console output that
  indicates what's going on though.
