After solving the problems on my wife's laptop (Dell XPS 1530 with a NVidiia, not an ATI card) I decided to try removing Plymouth from my own laptop too. Booted into recovery mode using 'nomodeset' and kicked Plymouth. System restarted fine after that.

Uninstalling Plymouth seems to have solved it for now (although I think that is not what the devs of Plymouth aimed for...).

If you want me to help you getting more information about why Plymouth borked my system(s), please let me know.

cheers
Tom
