Fix Plymouth in Natty

None of the usual fixes or workarounds applied after the upgrade. This script saved me:

cd
$ wget http://www.webalice.it/bernardi82/software/fixplymouth-natty
$ chmod +x fixplymouth-natty
$ ./fixplymouth-natty

Here’s what happens under the hood: the script installs uvesafb and configures Grub and some parameters for the uvesafb kernel module; finally it rebuilds the initramfs image and updates Grub2. This updated version of the script also removes the vt.handoff=7 parameter from Grub’s configuration, here’s an explanation of what it is.
