When starting my system, Plymouth doesn't show graphics but uses the fallback text mode. However, it runs normally (that is, with graphics) on shutdown. Why is that?

Well, it seems to be a bug. I have just reported it in launchpad. It seems to have been accepted as one. Bug id 781479 . If any of you are affected please click on the 'it affects me' to report it.
Open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and run the next command.
sudo update-initramfs -c -k all
You may be asked for you user password, this command recreates the initial ramdisk for all kernels.

You're aware what
-k all
does, right? It's generally not necessary and can be omitted to safe time as it will update the current loaded kernel by default. I doubt if this solves the problem, I've had a similar issue, the startup plymouth screen is completely blue with only the upperleft corner of the screen being used. On shutdown, it showed up fine. I think it's a kernel module issue as the only difference between my maverick initrd and natty initrd is the kernel. May 8, 2011 at 9:41 -
