Cannot boot new system profile on librebooted x220 with luks

Cannot boot new system profile on librebooted x220 with luks

[Dariqq]

Hey everyone,

yesterday I updated my guix on a librebooted thinkpad x220 (libreboot 
version 20230625) with a luks encrypted drive and I can't boot into the 
new system profile. I get into the Guix Grub Menu and when I select the 
new profile everything gets locket up afterwards, i.e. the screen stays 
on the grub background and nothing ever gets loaded. (system commit is 
2b5c6e1a41e4ddcf4cfa53a319ed784a856eac5d)

My previous profile with kernel linux-libre@6.4.7 on commit 
8e8d20b6b35d3ab529f9045cc8a779cdcec9c471 still works fine.

I tried another drive without luks encryption and there everything works 
with the new kernel.

Any help is appreciated.

The issue is solved now.

The password prompt was actually invisible and I could just type it in 
and press Enter and then everything would load normally.

The commit 6d7e181ba18d11c92409a93936025fb46b9c8171 that changed the 
kernel config was reverted in e49fdc231b0be00490fe1321888eb5c2acc480ac 
and now everything is as usual.

I've also found a discussion on guix issues 
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/66746 regarding the same problem.

One solution from there is adding

(initrd-modules (cons "simplefb" %base-initrd-modules))

which also worked for me to bring back the password prompt with the 
problematic config.
