My attempts at installing with full disk encryption all failed at boot time (same effect: blank screen after the loading kernel message). I then tried an installation without FDE. Again the blank screen, but eventually a lightdm appeared (I chose XFCE at installation time). This made me realize: the FDE installation probably worked fine, too, it's just that where I was seeing a blank screen, the system was prompting me for a password to decrypt the drive. Can anyone advise me on how to fix this, ie get the console video on the LCD back during early boot? I'm sure there is a simple solution, but I'm not familiar enough with non-GRUB systems. I tried adding the above two modules to /etc/modules (including update-initramfs -u), but that didn't solve the problem, unfortunately. Best, Christian
