Installed 16.10. Without nvidia drivers the boot splash and password prompt are fine. With nvidia drivers, the boot splash appears (unlike in 16.04), but it's not interactive. Removing "splash" and "quiet" from the kernel command line again allows a normal text-only prompt and continued boot.

Upon reboot, the boot splash (plymouth?) with the password prompt for the encrypted root is missing. The screen flashes dark purple and the switches to black with a blinking cursor echoing anything typed. Ctrl-alt-del reboots. Booting with kernel options "quiet splash" removed results in a text-mode boot process where the password prompt is present, proceeding normally. Wasn't sure if this was plymouth or nvidia issue, I'm guessing nvidia because that's what upgraded and broke functionality. Tried redoing update-grub and update-initramfs, didn't help. Found I had both nvidia-361 and nvidia-367 installed (why didn't -361 uninstall?), but manually removing -361 (and redoing initramfs just in case) didn't change anything.
