bug#66746: LUKS password prompt invisible, prompts twice

[Jake]

Hi Tobias

The initrd-modules snippet did not fix it.

Below is the diff of the .configs for 6.5.9 (not 6.5.8 sorry) and 6.5.7.

Thanks

Jake

Oh, this might be interesting…  At least it's something.

Could you diff a working 6.5.7 and broken 6.5.8 configuration?  The
configuration is stored as /gnu/store/…-linux-libre-6.5.x/.config;
there's no need to boot the kernel just to load the config.gz module.

If you use Coreboot or a derivative: do your broken kernels include
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=6d7e181ba18d11c92409a93936025fb46b9c8171>?

And if they do, have you tried booting with

   (initrd-modules (cons "framebuffer-coreboot" %base-initrd-modules))

by any chance?

Kind regards,
