Bug Description

I am iso-testing the current lubuntu-amd64-alt iso. in a VM. After doing an encrypted install, when the machine reboots you see only a black screen. Pressing alt-f7 will display the passphrase challenge and if correctly entered the machine will boot normally.

But machine initially only boots to a black screen and pressing alt-1-6 produces only a blank cursor.

Would speculate the same cause as buq #1356437

I have the same issue after upgrade Ubuntu 14.04 -> Ubuntu 14.10.
I get black screen during boot.

Workaround: Alt+F1 (to get a screen with text cursor) and then Alt+F7. Then I can enter passphrase for my encrypted partition and continue in boot.
For me it's a regression in kernel 3.16 because it works with older kernel 3.13.
