Bug#897572: linux-image-4.16.0-1-amd64 breaks plymouth LUKS prompt (missing Kaby Lake firmware?)



Package: linux
Version: linux-image-4.16.0-1-amd64
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

booting with linux-image-4.16.0-1-amd64 causes the plymouth LUKS prompt to not
be displayed, preventing password entry and thus boot. System can still be
rebooted with Ctrl-Alt-Del.

The system is an Intel Kaby Lake i7 7700 running on its HD Graphics 630 iGPU.
Missing firmware errors are seen in the logs and at the unusable boot screen
(photo attached):

This missing firmware is also noted when running update-initramfs:

# update-initramfs -u -k 4.16.0-1-amd64
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.16.0-1-amd64

i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/skl_guc_ver9_33.bin for module

Workaround is to remove "splash" from the kernel command line.

Kind regards,
Ben.
