[Bug 1038055] Re: graphics fail to initialise correctly, in kvm with cirrus graphics (after LUKS install)

[Dave Gilbert]

Tomas:   It's probably best to open a new bug for it, however please
make sure it includes at least the following:

Can you confirm exactly what your setup is:
   Is this under KVM - if so what host and what video card config
   What image exactly did you use as the install?
   Were you using luks?
   What exactly do you see on the screen?

and a comment saying to see this bug, and add a comment here with that
bug number.

  graphics fail to initialise correctly, in kvm with cirrus graphics

Bug description:
  reproducible with ubiquity or alternate installer in KVM virtual machine:
  1) select lvm + encrypted instalation

  
  it fails to boot, in a way that I get "no video mode activated" and I cannot type the password in to unlock the drive.

  As a workaround, I had to:
  1) force reboot machine
  2) then grub options come up
  3) select recovery mode
  4) then I can enter the password using text interface
  5) resume normal boot

  Disabling splash, brings up text interface to unlock the drive &
  allows to boot.
