System freezes on boot (tty1)

Description:

The latest nvidia-dkms / nvidia-utils (560.35.03-5) freezes my system on boot (tty1). I had to chroot back into it, downgrade to 560.35.03-4 and it works again.
It seems to be visual only, since the system seemed to be running (hdd activity) in the background and the journal shows a normal shutdown after I pressed ctrl+alt+del a couple times.
There is nothing immediately obvious in the journal.

Additional info:

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980

I don't use a bootmanager, I directly boot from uefi.

I also don't use a desktop manager, my system boots into tty1 and stays there until I manually start my desktop environment.
My username is choose automatically. I changed getty@tty1.service

ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty -o '-p -- andy' --noclear --skip-login - $TERM

System is fully up to date besides the two mentioned packages.

Steps to reproduce:

1. I boot
2. The screen freezes at the password prompt
