[SOLVED] Kernel 4.2.2-1: Irregular no video output on boot

Perhaps relatet to all those screen and monitor issues:

Since update linux (4.1.6-1 -> 4.2.2-1) there is irregular no video output after EFI Menu:
The efi boot menu shows up but the promt for decrypting password does not.
Still I can enter the password blind and system boots up without any video output.
Login also has to be done blind without video output.
On starting X display comes back and works normal.
Downgrading linux (4.2.2-1 -> 4.1.6-1) solves the issue.

EDIT: (add more Information about Hardware)
Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU  J1800  @ 2.41GHz
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display (rev 0c)

EDIT II: [SOLVED]
Only UEFI boot affected.
Removing 'intel_agp i915' from MODULES line in mkinitcpio.conf (disable KMS during the initramfs stage)  solves the problem for linux-4.2.2-1 here.
