I am having the same problem. (My configuration: only boot partition is not encrypted, encrypted lvm volume with all other partitions, Lenovo R400). When attepmting to boot both versions of 3.15 kernel screen goes blank. I am never prompted for the disk encryption passphrase. Version 3.14 worked just fine.
Same problem with kernels 3.15.[3-5], with system turning itself off. Using LVM with encrypted /home partition, Dell Precision T3600. 3.14.x kernels all work fine.

I am having the same problem with kernel 3.15.6.200 on a Lenovo R61i. After this version failed to boot three times I went back to the previous kernel (3.15.5.200), which doesn't have this problem. I did not thhe problems booting 3.15.4.200 either.

Getting SIGRTMIN+20 from plymouthd seems to have happened in all three boot attempts before "Started Reload Configuration from the Real Root" was logged.
I'm unsure if its relevant[*] but during the failed boot, after the white patch turned into the F symbol and flashed and the screen had been cleared the message: [drm:i965_irq_handler] *ERROR* pipe A underrun ...: appeared at the top left of the screen for a few seconds before the screen was again blanked. [*] this has been happening for a few kernel releases but since, after a second or two, the the login prompt screen appeared I'd been ignoring it. But, with kernel 3.15.6.200 the screen just stayed black as the boot failed.
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 20 kernel bugs. Fedora 20 has now been rebased to 3.17.2-200.fc20. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you have moved on to Fedora 21, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 21. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
It hasn't been an issue here since 3.16.* was current.
