It would no longer make sense to attempt to provide log files since I re-installed Ubuntu-Mate after not getting any response to my bug report for more than five weeks. The current kernel version that is running on my system no longer exhibits the problem reported here.

When I rebooted the system, I was dumped to the boot-loaders busy-box prompt. I tried also under the Advanced options for Linux where normal and recovery mode versions of both v5.3.0-26-generic and v5.3.0-24-generic were available. Both of the 5.3.0-26-generic options also sent me to the busy-box prompt. However, when I tried the 5.3.0-24-generic option I was able to get the system started, and it seems to work normally. Some additional observations: While watching the messages when trying to get the 5.3.0-26 version going I noticed that it was not able to find the file system for my Ubuntu-Mate installation. I also noticed that the size of the initrd.img-5.3.0-26-generic is about 4 MBytes smaller than the initrd.img-5.3.0-24-generic. Since the Ubuntu-Mate file system is in a LVM partition, I am wondering if the initrd.img-5.3.0-26-generic lacks the capability to see the LVM partition. I have tried to figure out how to unpack the two initrd.img files to see what the differences are, but none of the information I have seen on the web about how to do this works on the Ubuntu versions of the file.
