Summary

Using Solus since 2020 on my machine, without any heavy issues so far. Since 7.0.X display manager fails at booting but TTY access was working.
After 7.1.3 update the machine doesnt boot at all (No TTY access, no cursor, only black screen). Booting into linux-lts works fine, nothing broken.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Update an existing solus machine to kernel 7.1.3
  2. reboot
  3. notice black screen with no possible interaction (no cursor, no tty, nothing)
  4. hard power off

Expected result

Boot to GUI and login manager.

Actual result

Black screen with no possible interaction (no cursor, no tty, nothing)

Booting into linux-lts works fine, nothing broken.

I hoped the update to Kernel com.solus-project.current.7.1.5-349 would fix the issue, but the problem still occurs.
