Getting; 'Initrmfs unpacking failed: junk within compressed archive` …
It’s interesting the KVM for keyboard/mouse does not work so I can’t select another kernel. I connected a keyboard directly and was able to login with older kernel.

Sounds like the initramfs was not built correctly.
I wonder if you /boot rad out of disk space?
Can you post the output of lsblk -f please?
