same problem, green led 1 second then black screen, I thought it was due to the battery starting to weaken because if I plug in the charger at the time of the green led, the start-up goes without a hitch.
I’ve got the suspension activated
If I do a sudo reboot, the phone doesn’t reboot systematically.

I have been checking logfiles after having boot problems and I noticed these log entries showing up:
- power key pressed
- edt_ft5x06 2-0038: Unable to fetch data, error: -6
- Failed to get current UI legacy scaling factor (2x)
- unable to get EDID for xrandr-DSI-1: unable to get EDID for output
Next entry is again “Power key pressed.”
I asume that I used the power key once more due to seeing nothing on the screen.

I experienced 3 power on’s without problems. This morning the problem is back again.
Log events:
systemd-logind Power key pressed.

Indeed, it’s rarer, but it still happens.

My bad, I can’t confirm this change.
Yesterday I needed to boot several times before the screen showed up.

I know why… but i think you have some kind of Hardware issue or some crumb in the shaft between Button and main Phone Frame.
Because since i turn off my phone every day before i go to sleep, to save energy. I know that every morning when i boot up my Librem 5, sometimes i push (short) my Power Button as habit to turn of the screen fast, and then it will just do a fast shutdown.
So i think your issues are from a wrong pushed shutdown button.
So it would be nice to have a screen Question for Shutdown like (Shutdown? Press Vol-Down, please), while booting the phone.
Edit: Just to add some experience that the Screen (not the boot one) is dark and the posh-Locked Screen, need some more time to Render itself. I had to wait 15 seconds, it had some ambient light, but thought it was one of an Update Message or the Lollypop displayed Album-Picture. Would like to have the possibility to disable the picture too in Lollypop.

Technically, there is no physical shutdown button, only a power-on button. It’s better to use the software to shut down a computer, rather than do a hard shutdown with the physical button. 
Hi Christal,
Thanks for your suggestion.
However, I use the software button (upper right corner) to switch off my L5 and I do not have bread crumbs on my finger while doing so 
I’m convinced that it’s a bug and I’m sure it will be resolved. I just need to be patient.
Read my messages as a feedback to Purism (this message is linked to Issue 494).

A new upgrade this morning
175% display still reverts to 100%. -
Start up behavior is still the same, push til green let go… no start. No green light holding same amount of time! Press again and count to 10-12 sec (approx) then press again produces green light … hold til light goes off and release then screen keyboard opens.

Is there a place to see progress / fixes applied to new kernels etc?

Yes… power ON or Shut down, for me are the same. Physical One, no software. So i was talking about the Boot Process. But you and shopping4purism are right about the software one.
@ASwyD2
Buy a USB-C to USB Adapter, attach a Keyboard and try to free some Space on /boot
I think you got lost in an update Process and if you push the shout down Button before the update Script was finished ( or till not enough space on /boot), you have a chance to fix that loop. Otherwise get in touch with support or send back you phone. However i think you could flash your phone or have enough space during that update too.
On Linux you have that option to use a ttty prompt/Console to login with alt + ctrl + 1 (up to 9) to connect to your system, even if the graphical Desktop/Interface do not start properly - to fix things.
I think you have not enough free space on your boot, cause you apply updates and new Kernels on your Boot, without drop not used installations with apt - it tell you to run some command after update to free space, and remove obsolete packages.

Maybe I’m lucky or maybe someting has changed
So far, booting the L5 went OK the last 2 weeks.
I do hope it will stay that way.

I knew it this would happen. After writing the message in this thread I have these booting issues again.
So nothing has changed.
I guess it’s back to the ‘waiting for a solution’ queue.

Yes, it seems to happen randomly for me now. The problem disappeared for a while, though.
