I figured out what was causing the problem,
In the past, I had edited my grub configuration `/etc/default/grub` for
smoother plymouth experience, it was like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_os_name=Linux acpi_osi=Linux
video=uvesafb:mode_option=1024x786-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="quiet vga=771"
I forgot where exactly I found this; it was somewhere on the internet.
I edited the file again and made it just:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
And now it boots just fine.
I don't know if you will still consider this a bug/regression. But,
since I took these options somewhere from the internet, chances are,
there are quite a few people who also have these lines in their grub
configs, and they will likely experience the same problem I had.
