Hi,
I just did a larger upgrade of my system (a few weeks worth of pending updates) and after a reboot the computer would not boot. I get to the GRUB screen, then my usual:
error: sparse file not allowed. - press any key to continue booting
After that I see the “Lenovo” logo but nothing happens. I tried reverting the update with timeshift and upgraded everything but the kernel, and after that the boot was fine, so I have narrowed it down to the kernel package. I tried removing the “quiet” kernel option, and the only difference was that I did not see the Lenovo logo, it simply stopped at the above error message. I am not able to access any TTY. Do you have any ideas what could cause this? I am using full-disk encryption if that is relevant.
