FileVault and Sierra guide for noobs like me

[helpmeplzhelp]

I enables FV on Mojave and added the driver, when I try and boot from the preboot partition I just get a black screen.

When running with -v I see some sort of error relating to graphics and UI.

The last line was:
error!!! unlocking core storage volume (0xe)

I don’t even get to the preboot login screen... any ideas?

Update:

I manually unencrypted the disk from terminal recovery. I am able to boot into the OS using the HDD or PREBOOT partition in Clove without issue.

What could be causing the black screen when FV is enabled?

Hey, how were you able to manually decrypt fielvault in terminal from recovery mode? my keyboard doesnt want to work on login screen but it works in recovery mode. thanks
