It seems to me to be related to plymouth issue. Can you try to uninstall it and try again please?

it seems similar to the well known vt conflict between plymouth and xorg leading to xorg crashing on first enter use. do you see gdm if you switch to vt1 and then vt7? can you try if you get the issue is plymouth is not installed?
