On Boot, graphical interface doesn't start properly, causing systemd-ask-password-plymouth to not work
Last modified: 2016-03-19 17:31:14 EDT
Description of problem: On boot to kernel-4.4.4-301.fc23.x86_64, graphical interface doesn't start. Instead we drop to the terminal interface, eventually the boot gets stuck on systemd-ask-password-plymouth and the boot does not proceed. Dropping down to kernel-4.4.3-300.fc23.x86_64 works as normal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-4.4.4-301.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: Always fails the same way Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up the machine and select kernel-4.4.4-301.fc23.x86_64 2. 3. Actual results: The machine boots up, drops to terminal with the boot messages. Eventually a message shows up referring to systemd-ask-password-plymouth and the boot does not proceed. Expected results: The machine boots up, Plymouth starts, and the dialog box for inputing the decryption password shows up. Additional info: The machine has an LUKS encrypted boot disk. The graphics card is an AMD Tonga 285.
Same issue on a DELL Inspiron laptop with AMD R7 M265 GPU and SSD disk without LUKS. Same workaround works (boot 4.4.3).
Created attachment 1136782 [details] Boot messages with kernel 4.4.4
Kernel 4.5.0 also works (updated to F24 Alpha)
Kernel 4.4.5 also works. Closing this since this now works in F23.
