Actually, I have updated the initrd, it's the last step of that
tutorial. As you can read from the comments, nobody has gotten it to
work. Can someone send me an example of a Plymouth Theme that works via
a script instead of a plugin? The only themes I've seen work properly
use plugins.

When you say "default Ubuntu splash", is that the graphical one, or the
text one?
If it is the text one then that is probably because of the lack of KMS
when using proprietary drivers. You can force a graphical mode by adding
"vga=askme" to the kernel line, then when youre asked, type a number of
a reasonable mode. (best if it is 32bit). Then see if it boots using a
graphical theme. If you want to make that mode permanent add
"vga=0x[code]" where [code] is your number from before.

Right, sorry. I meant the text one. I have to have KMS turned off as I'm
using an LVDS monitor and using KMS with the Intel i915 driver causes my
LVDS screen to be completely white during startup. So my fix for that
was this:
echo options i915 modeset=0 > /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf
I also tried vga=askme at the kernel command line with several different
startup codes. They all seemed to change the text size of my bootup
font, but then nothing was displayed for the plymouth splash :/

Do you have "splash" somehwere on the kernel line? Is the splash the one
printing details of the boot, or the purple background and some sweeping
bars at the bottom?
