You have been subscribed to a public bug: Plymouth fails to fully boot with this kernel when asking for encryption password for local partition. The system freezes and can be recovered in rescue mode. Previous kernels accepted the password and continued to X as expected.
Remove 'splash' from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" prevents plymouth from loading and booting continues to X after password is entered in when booting pauses and asks for the password in the terminal. This behaviour is true on laptops running Linux Mint (Wilma) and Ubuntu KDE 24.04 with encrypted partitions. On devices without encrypted partitions 'quiet splash' is included on the kernel command line and booting proceeds as expected.
