The graphical splash screen is not even *included* by default in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server, and no splash is used by default when installing 10.04 LTS Server. For upgrades, the existing 'splash' argument on the kernel commandline is retained by default. There's more information about this in the release notes at <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Changes%20in%20boot-time%20output%20on%20Ubuntu%20Server>.

On the contrary, plymouth is *essential* to have in this release and all of our testing indicates that it is ready. If mountall is still running after your system has come up, that points to a problem in your fstab, and has nothing to do with plymouth.
