[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I can reproduce this on kernels 6.1.58, 6.5.7. Rolling back to a generation with kernel 6.1.57 fixes it, though, this is a correlation and I do not know if the kernel necessarily is what caused it.

As far as I know, the double prompt is expected behaviour (65002 seems to have a fix for that), as /boot is encrypted. What happens for me is that my custom GRUB background seems to cover the Linux framebuffer until I enter my password. After entering my LUKS password, everything works fine and I see output from Shepherd and Xorg starts as expected.

Hardware: Lenovo Thinkpad T460s
