Empty screen with kernel 5.X on lenovo yoga 720

Hi,
I installed arch linux with LVM-on-LUKS on my lenovo yoga 720, with rEFInd as bootloader. With any kernel newer than 4.19, i'm stuck at a white screen (the wallpaper of rEFInd I think). There is absolutely no message, just a white screen.

When I tried with Manjaro, I had exactly the same problem.
When I boot with linux-lts414, it works fine (I didn't try with 419, it takes too much time to compile but it worked in Manjaro)
The Fallback initramfs didn't help either.

Any solution ?

edit : By the way, should I have posted in Kernel&Harware or is fine here ?

Okay I tested with other distros and with grub instead of refind, and I had a "out of memory error". But I can't know when the error happens (in the initramfs or the kernel or something else)
