Hey Daniel, You were right - the computer was stuck in recovery mode. I manually booted it into normal mode and then restarted it and re-produced a hang. I then rebooted into recovery mode and recorded that boot with journalctl -b-1 > prevboot.txt. Please see attached.
The log states that the boot began on 1/11/19 and continues until 1/21/19. However, if you look at the log itself, the only data recorded is from today, 1/21/19. I don't know where it's getting 1/11/19 from. So, despite the log at the top stating that the boot record spans several days, the record itself only reflects one day. And the file is appropriately small. I sincerely hope this is what you're looking for, despite incorrect dates. Can you take a look?
