I have the same issue with an HP EliteBook 840 G5, using an Intel Core i5-8250U (Intel UHD Graphics 620) and an AMD Radeon RX 540.
Under a clean Focal install (20.04.2), I can successfully boot and use my machine under kernel 5.8.0-55, but I get the blank screen described by other commenters under 5.8.0-59. `journalctl` and `inxi` output is available here: https://gist.github.com/myersjustinc/7a60811f846df88bab96b5207c4975f5 Under a clean Hirsute install (21.04), it similarly works under 5.11.0-18 and fails under 5.11.0-22. Corresponding output is available here: https://gist.github.com/myersjustinc/942f30176f65e774efd8d2f7886f4c53 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-hwe-5.8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1934647 Title: [HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-dk0xxx] Black screen at login using 5.8.0-59, but 5.8.0-43 and 5.12.14 work fine Status in linux-hwe-5.8 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: If I choose nvidia driver, then the screen is black and I cannot log in.
