OK so I'll explain this as clearly as I can - see sig. for rig.
I installed Mint 18.1 on my sig. rig. I selected "Guided - Encrypted LVM", installed as normal and rebooted into Mint. When I installed the nVidia drivers using Driver Manager and then rebooted, the system hung when loading the initial ramdisk. However, when I repeated the installation with both "Guided - use entire disk" and "Guided - Use LVM", installing the nVidia drivers using Driver Manager and then rebooting works as expected. There seems to be something odd about the way the encrypted LVM is set up that when the kernel drivers are installed into it, loading the initial ramdisk fails.
Has anyone come across this with Mint 18.x on any other system?
Many thanks.
