Bug#897572: getrandom hang in early boot prevents plymouth passphrase entry
I confirm this issue.
It affects plymouth in general, not related to any passphrase entry.
Booting in recovery mode helps to get around the plymouth problem, but
if there is not enough entropy gdm3 will simply not start. Pressing
keys/switching VTs leads to the crng_init finished message to be printed
and gdm3 starts after that.
Please consider adjusting the importance of the issue, it makes the
system almost unbootable for regular users.
