Similar here, afaict.  Latest grub update enabled efifb which gives me a
black screen instead of a console.  If I type my cryptsetup passphrase
blind, the boot continues, but the fb handover to i915 seems to fail, so
even after i915 gets loaded I still don't have consoles.  I can provide
dmesg if necessary, but this change needs reverting.

Cheers,
Julien
