Hey, I have quite the strange issue. After updating a bunch of packages today [1], mostly related to systemd, gstreamer and udev, and restarting my device, it no longer boots. I have an encrypted system. So I do get asked for my decryption password as usual, but a few seconds later, instead of continuing to the Grub boot menu, my device simply reboots to the BIOS menu.
It's not the first time I ran into such an issue. I did once after manually updating initrd because Grub wouldn't offer to boot the 6.5.0-4 kernel because of malformed grub.cfg. The solution was kinda simple. Boot into a life system, mount the encrypted system according to [2], find out the guide was either outdated or not suitable for updating initrd, find a fix, recreate initrd again and done. Sadly, this time that solution won't help. Also I can't find any way to get a log of which troubles Grub runs into that it can't continue the boot process. I tried getting Grub to write logs to the system by modifying GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub by removing quite and splash and adding loglevel=7 (and update-grub), but nothing is written, probably because for some reason Grub can't really decrypt the system. So, how do I even find out what's wrong? I'm not familiar with the Grub cmd, I have no idea how to get it to tell me what's wrong to even start finding a solution. Anybody knows more?
