I have a Lenovo laptop with the problem you describe and it's a 
kernel/video/plasma problem, works fine with the old Sid 4.7 kernel but 
not with the 4.9, first boot is ok, on restart you will not get the DM 
or x and may freeze up.  Sometimes switching back and forth on the 
consoles will get you x, alt+ctrl+F2-F1-F3-F7. Jessie back-ports are 
also 4.9 and don't work right too. The problem here is an 
Intel-965-mobile, I'm going to install the Jessie kernel and see if that 
works or maybe a Ubuntu kernel, I think they are 4.4 and 4.8, I know the 
4.4 will work, for me anyways, but I have to do something cause the 4.7 
kernel is old now and not getting security updates.
