This particular issue was discussed on the Qubes Matrix chat.
The boot-time black screen on kernel-latest is the result of AMDs XDNA driver misbehaving. You can fix it by adding a kernel boot option module_blacklist=amdxdna

###… Qubes OS release
4.3rc2
### Brief summary
With kernel latest installed it doesnt reach the point asking me for the LUKS encyrption passphrase.
### Steps to reproduce
install kernel latest
### Expected behavior
being asked for disc encryption passphrase
### Actual behavior
kernel stops at 7 seconds:
amdxdna: probe with driver amdxdna failed with error -5
followed by amdgpu complaining not finding optional firmware (amdgpu/isp_4_1_0.bin) at second 10.
then it stops for minutes.
