You could try disabling plymouth.
Here's what I did, just in case it's not the right thing --
I removed "splash=silent" from /etc/default/grub and a couple of places in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Better "plymouth.enable=0". Change /etc/default/grub, then run: 'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg' afterwards to update If the procedure works, you can instead uninstall plymouth (taboo it in yast/zypper).
After doing so, I don't get the weird three-dot splash screen anymore and see the stuff you see when you hit "esc" as you boot, but it still doesn't prompt me for the password.
Does the text flow stop at some point, as if waiting for something? If so, then start typing the password. Do you see the text replaced by asterisks? If you see asterisks, it is reading the password; if you see the text, it is not, and the problem is something else. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
