Linux system hangs after unlocking encrypted boot disk

2

I've Libreboot a Thinkpad X60 with installed Parabola Linux on it and LUKS encrypted disk, everything was working.

A month ago I decided to upgrade it, so I switched to SSD (Goodram IRDM gen. 2 SSD), again installed Parabola, and made same setup as earlier, also with encryption.

But after the disk upgrade, when I try to boot, after it ask me for passphrase for disk, instead displaying LightDM, laptop hangs up and I must restart it.

Only one of (on average) three attempts is successful and I can login to working system. I thought that is software problem, so I reinstalled Parabola Linux, this time with Linux-libre LTS kernel instead of default Linux-libre, but it did not change anything.

1Perhaps the SSD needs a firmware update. – None – 2019-06-03T15:03:37.910

There is no firmware update for that model on producer site. I've Goodram IRDM gen. 2 SSD – username16 – 2019-06-03T15:12:37.083

I can upload boot logs if that will help – username16 – 2019-06-07T08:34:04.090

After change to SSD, Thinkpad was booting too fast, so lightdm was loaded before graphics. To fix that I must write logind-check-graphical=true in lightdm config.
