If you do an encrypted install of current Rawhide with a minimal package set ('Minimal' or 'custom operating system'), then boot the installed system, you see no passphrase entry prompt. If you hit 'esc', you do see one. You also get one - a graphical one - if you install a graphical plymouth theme (i.e. `dnf install plymouth-system-theme`) and rebuild the initramfs. It seems the cause of this is likely that the 'text' theme (which is the only one available on a minimal install - no graphical theme is installed) is broken. In F24 this works properly; you see a passphrase entry prompt. This is breaking openQA encrypted install tests on Rawhide, e.g. https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/23111 .
Things have changed a bit in the last few days but it still doesn't work. Now, with plymouth active, you do see a prompt, but it doesn't seem to work - typing the passphrase and hitting enter does nothing, the screen does not change at all. If you drop 'rhgb quiet' from the boot params, you see a prompt mixed in with all the boot messages, and it works (typing the passphrase and hitting enter results in a successful boot).
ray knows what's going on here (he first fixed the prompt not displaying at all, but then it turned out there's a crash after it displays, and he's only just fixed that). hopefully a working build will show up soon. https://cgit.freedesktop.org/plymouth/commit/?id=2c7147ad098c07a3399edcef4c115e1ac728df3e (first fix) https://cgit.freedesktop.org/plymouth/commit/?id=fd66c6903047b57bc71100549d4e15eea9deded4 (second fix)

Laszlo, I don't think this is related to your bug. This was a new thing that only showed up in Rawhide. The same did not happen with F24.
Bug 1172740 -- reported on 2014-Dec-10 -- got closed as a duplicate of this bug (see bug 1172740 comment 26). And bug 1103393 had been linked with bug 1172740 as "See Also" (see bug 1172740 comment 11 and bug 1172740 comment 12). Therefore we have bug 1344141 <---dupe---> bug 1172740 <---see also---> bug 1103393 If both of those actions were correct, then a direct "See Also" between bug 1103393 and this bug (= 1344141) is also appropriate, transitively. Bug 1103393 has not received much attention thus far, despite the repeated confirmations from different users, from F20 through F23. I added the direct "See Also" because I wanted bug 1103393 to reference a sibling bug that was open, and not closed (even as a duplicate of an open bug).
well, anyhow, the one I reported is resolved now, the encrypted install test in openQA is passing: https://openqa.stg.fedoraproject.org/tests/25777 the fix was in: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=773561 so closing.
