Hello list,
I am booting Alpine on a laptop via rEFInd off an encrypted volume
(LUKS), and it works fine, but I hit a minor annoyance: the password
prompt doesn't show up, even if the system is waiting for one. I suspect
this is related to how/when the screen is refreshing or changing
resolution during the booting process. As a result, I need to wait for
"a certain time", enter my password blindly, and hope I haven't entered
it too early.
I have recorded a video to help with the description:
https://youtu.be/mvAlxsDeeDs
Despite searching on Web, I couldn't find a reference of someone running
into the same issue, so I'm asking here: Any suggestion on what to do
next to fix this?
Some distributions show a splash screen and prompt for a password to
decrypt the volume after, and I suspect this refreshes the screen in a
manner that would sort this issue. Any idea how to do that with Alpine?
Thanks for reading.

You may try to boot your kernel with the "nomodeset" option. For adding
it to rEFInd:

Ah, thanks, but although it's not visible in the video, I have already
tried that, with no difference in the result.

Re: [alpine-devel] [solved] rEFInd, Alpine, and luks
Still suggests there's a bug somewhere...

Sorry, replying to myself here. This seems to be tied to the hardware I
was testing on (a Lenovo x120e), I can't reproduce the issue on a
different laptop.
Thanks for reading anyway.
