Ok, thanks.  If you boot without 'splash', there's an unfortunate
interaction between plymouth and gdm.  gdm checks if plymouth is
running, to decide whether it can use the same VT as plymouth to start
its first X server; but when booting without splash, plymouth never
changes VTs, which means that gdm will start X on VT1 - which will
conflict with the getty that is started there.

I'm not sure what the right way will be to solve this - either plymouth
can switch VTs even when not using 'splash', but that might defeat the
purpose of the nosplash handling; or plymouth can add a way for gdm to
ask if the boot splash is active, and not answer 'yes' in this case.

Termina, since you are booting *with* splash, you should file a separate
bug report for your issue.
