Log stops with "Ctrl-C to stop disk system checks." <Ctrl-Alt-Del> allows reboot. Most boot options give error "load kernel first." Work-around is to boot to kernel 4.19. Have tried re-installing grub2, etc. Under kernel 4.19 the OS can find /dev/LinuxHome-vg/*, which is two links, "root" to /dev/dm-0 and "swap-1" to /dev/dm-1. Synaptic shows no broken packages. Root shows initrd.img of 41.7 MiB, vmlinuz of 5.4 MiB.
