Description
## Description of Problem:
There seems to be 2 errors on the boot splash screen.
The `error: Unexpectedly disconnected from boot status daemon` appears on both on the live CD, and the finished installation;
The `Failed to start Show Plymouth Boot Screen` only appears in a completed installation.
`plymouth` cannot be found in `journalctl -xe` nor `dmesg`
`/var/log/boot.log` does not exist, and thus I cannot see what happened on boot.

## Expected behaviour:
The elementaryOS boot splash screen should be displayed on screen, then "boot normally"
`/var/log/boot.log` should also exist (correct me if I am wrong)
## What I tried
Some searching around suggests that it is a kernel incompatibility (for some reason).
As such I downgraded the kernel from `5.8.0-50-generic` to `5.8.0-49-generic`. The errors stopped appearing, but the splash screen is still not showing (might be a separate issue altogether).
## Platform:
- elementaryOS 6.0 Public Beta `elementary-os-6.0-daily.20210430.iso`
- `linux-5.8.0-50-generic`
- VMware Workstation 15 (not sure if this might make a difference)
