If I understand what you have said correctly, you are still not explaining why you want to run Plymouth on a headless machine. Since it has no monitor, you cannot see the plymouth theme. Even if you have enabled it--and perhaps you have--you wouldn't notice any difference. Are actionparsnip and I missing something?
