	Sometimes the first Plasma Active 2 (PA2) boot can take several minutes, 
probably because nepomuk is rebuilding the database. The screen remains black 
for a couple of minutes here when that happens. I do not see why the power 
management backend would prevent the system from booting. I think you should 
wait some minutes (up to 5 minutes) and see if the system continues to boot.

There is no mouse pointer is hidden in PA, you need to uninstall the package 
plasma-mobile-mouse and restart Xorg to make it visible:
