Black screen, no graphical sddm login after upgrade to kernel 4.8.2-1

After upgrading to kernel 4.8.2-1, my Intel Haswell notebook (HP Probook 430 G1) only boots into a black screen instead of the sddm login screen.

Strange thing is: sddm seems to be running ok, and with a "systemctl restart sddm" on a virtual console the graphical login comes up with no issues. So it seems only the boot process is affected.

As a workaround I installed linux-lts which is working fine.

TIA

Ok, will proceed (with more details) there.
