It should not be needed.  On PCs, the system firmware sets up the
display and the kernel (like GRUB) will use a generic graphics driver
until the i915 or other hardware-specific driver is loaded.

I have an X230 here and tried removing plymouth, and it was still able
to prompt for my disk encryption password.  However, it's been upgraded
from an earlier release and is booting in BIOS mode.

* Does your system boot in BIOS or UEFI mode?  (You can tell by
checking whether grub-pc or grub-efi-amd64 is installed.)

* Does it make any difference if you use the "recovery mode" entry in
the GRUB menu?
