issue with booting at first time after turning on.. and Kernel image misaligned at boot, please fix your bootloader
Describe your issue
What's the expected behaviour?
Boot to the PostmarketOS Screen + unl0kr/osk-sdl everytime i turn on my phone
What's the current behaviour?
Boot to the PostmarketOS Screen + unlokt/osk-sdl on 6-9th time everytime after forced boot/or turn ON my phone. it is necessary to turn on and off a considerable number of times to make the screen wake up or boot info shows on screen. For now im not sure if its a boot issue or screen issue. It started from some time after some updates in the past , but i cant say when. Overall i need to reboot my phone about 6-9 times to finally get the screen with PostmarketOS Screen Logo + unlocker/osd-sdk.
I found in dmesg info that ithis might be an issue:
[ 0.000000] [Firmware Bug]: Kernel image misaligned at boot, please fix your bootloader!

Activity
Same deal here: It's important to mention which device you're using when you make a report like this. I can see in your kernel log that it's the Xiaomi Pocophone F1, but please fill in the "What device are you using?" question in the template next time.
The kernel misalignment error is irrelevant I'm pretty sure.

This seems to be related to the one discussed in https://postmarketos.org/edge/2023/12/08/sdm845-no-display/ and the issue is discussed upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/msm/-/issues/46
As a workaround, try without fde. This way, there maybe a blank display when booting up. but if you press the power button after like 30 seconds, you will land in the Phosh lockscreen and display should work.

I can reproduce this issue running the latest stable release on the poco f1. My dmesg says the same thing. When I upgraded, my phone was already using fde...Do I have to reinstall without fde?

Edited by Ghost User -
Yeah. I wonder if pmOS allows for a easy way to remove fde encryption without reinstallation. cryptsetup seems to have some kind of support for it. Otherwise, I think we have to reinstall without fde for now, sadly. Let's hope we will find a way to fix this quick before 6.7 release.
