I've created an armbian minimal image for my pinebook with luks encryption. It works fine but I cannot see the password prompt on screen... the boot process is:

* The armbian uboot is displayed

* Then a black screen...

After a few seconds I'm assuming it is time to put my luks password, so I do it

* Then the screen starts to show the boot text

 

Is this expected? Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to install plymouth, just the usual LUKS password prompt.

 

Thanks!

This could explain why you don't see the prompt:
https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/kernel/linux-sunxi64-current.config#L4178

Change it to Y and try again.

 

I tested this feature on some other board + HDMI monitor and prompt was there - as expected.

I tried but still black screen:

Hmm. Perhaps @Icenowy or @jernej has some clues what we are missing here?

Meanwhile, is there anything else that I can test/validate?

Thanks!
