Still more convenient than typing in the password two times.  I first
thought kexec was not working.  It is an improvement for me already. :)

I just did a reboot with kexec from kexec-tools on an identical machine
running Debian Bookworm with LUKS encryption:

The screen goes on with a blinking prompt.  The external video is on too
and can plug it in and out again.

I just tried it manually with kexec from kexec-tools in Guix.  The
display stayed dark here too and I somehow didn't manage to unlock
the device.  The HDD-Lamp hinted that something was happening.

I looked into dmesg and /var/log/messages.  I see a time gap until the
partition is mounted.  But no hint that a video or state of hardware is
being changed:

Oh, worse that what I experienced.

Do you happen to know if it works on other distros with the same
hardware?

It seems to me that it=E2=80=99s a Linux issue because there=E2=80=99s very=
 little we
can do as kexec users, but who knows.

Ludo=E2=80=99.

Interesting.  I just tested it and both internal and external monitor
will remain blank until the passphrase is entered.

Reconnecting the external monitor will not help either.  They appear to
be switched off.

Hello,

After rebooting with =E2=80=98reboot -k=E2=80=99, my laptop=E2=80=99s scree=
n remains blank.  I
have to type my LUKS passphrase blindly and then it boots fine, even
displays stuff normally on its external monitor, but its own monitor
remains desperately blank.

That=E2=80=99s a 2016 HP laptop with Intel graphics.

Are there known remedies?

At the Guix Days, someday said they experienced a similar problem.

Ludo=E2=80=99.
