Still more convenient than typing in the password two times. I first thought kexec was not working. It is an improvement for me already. :) I just did a reboot with kexec from kexec-tools on an identical machine running Debian Bookworm with LUKS encryption: The screen goes on with a blinking prompt. The external video is on too and can plug it in and out again. I just tried it manually with kexec from kexec-tools in Guix. The display stayed dark here too and I somehow didn't manage to unlock the device. The HDD-Lamp hinted that something was happening. I looked into dmesg and /var/log/messages. I see a time gap until the partition is mounted. But no hint that a video or state of hardware is being changed: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- [ 2.735156] usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 2.735161] usb 1-2: Product: Biometric Coprocessor [ 2.735165] usb 1-2: Manufacturer: STMicroelectronics [ 2.874331] Btrfs loaded, zoned=yes, fsverity=yes [ 32.859424] PM: Image not found (code -22) [ 32.874392] BTRFS: device label LABEL devid 1 transid 408044 /dev/dm-0 (253:0) scanned by init (1) [ 32.875143] BTRFS info (device dm-0): first mount of filesystem HASHVALUE [ 32.875162] BTRFS info (device dm-0): using crc32c (crc32c-generic) checksum algorithm [ 32.875179] BTRFS info (device dm-0): using free-space-tree [ 35.910187] shepherd[1]: GNU Shepherd 1.0.2 (Guile 3.0.9, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) [ 35.910434] shepherd[1]: Starting service root...
