Hi,

After update from 12.2 to 12.3, monitor switches off during boot.

Details:
- system boots
- splash screen with chameleon shows up, the green becomes brighter and brighter
- suddenly monitor switches off, saying "no signal"
- pressing Alt-left once: monitor switches on
- message: "doing fast boot, creating device nodes with udev"
- pressing Alt-left again: splash screen becomes visible again
- now I can enter the pass-phrase for /home

TIA for any help!
Peter


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. zypper dup -l (update from 12.2 to 12.3)
2. boot the system

Actual Results:  
monitor switches off, pressing 2 times "alt-left" is needed before entering pass-phrase

Expected Results:  
monitor should not switch off, the user should see without any special actions, that the pass-phrase should be entered

After the latest updates, I have to press Alt-left now several times, not just once.

The problem seems to be solved.

But I don't know why.

A few days ago, I made a package update (zypper -n up -l).

The kernel and a lot of other packages have been updated.

Then, there was a power failure at my home.

The next restart of the system, the problem has gone.

Perhaps because of the "cold restart" or perhaps because of the update, I don't know.
