Just to update people on this as it may be helpful. I've not had (yet!) a
reoccurance of the 'indefinite duration blank screen after seeing the init
sequence' for a few days. This *may* be because the following has dodged
the problem. If so, may be useful for others to know.
I was booting up into an 'HD' desktop screen mode of 1920 x 1080 16m 50Hz.
I changed this so I now bootup into a desktop mode of 1680 x 1050 16m 56Hz.
This has a higher frame rate but a lower pixel rate. SInce doing this every
bootup - so far - has been OK.
Once booted I can run an obey file to switch to the 'HD' mode. This has
also worked OK.
At present I suspect that the 'HD' mode is just on the edge of being 'too
much'. And the newer version of the OS may have slightly altered where this
edge resides, making the problems I got show up more often.
Of course, Sod's Law means that shortly after I send this the problem will
arise again! But failing that, no news can be taken as good news.
