** Description changed:

- After installation the display only turns on after the initramfs. This
- means there is no visible input field if disk encryption was selected in
- the installer.
+ [ Impact ]
  
- The initrd seems to be missing the panel module.
+ On affected hardware, the display only works after the initramfs.
+ This means there is no visible input field if disk encryption was selected in 
the installer.
+ The same of course applies for any other output during the initramfs.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ To reproduce the issue, install an affected machine with disk encryption or 
add break= to the kernel command line to get an interactive initramfs shell.
+ With the bug present the screen stays dark. It might still be possible to 
enter
+ the passphrase blindly or exit the debug shell. After modules are loaded from 
the root file system the screen should start working.
+ 
+ With the patch applied there should be visible output for the password
+ or shell prompt in the initramfs.
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ The fix should only include additional modules, we should make sure not
+ to accidentally drop any functionality in the process.
+ 
+ [ Other Info ]
+ 
+ Since dracut and initramfs-tools behave similar enough the same test
+ plan should apply to both. Both are already fixed in questing and there
+ is positive test feedback from users in discourse
