+===== Things To Try =====
+  * BusyBox prompt: Try running ''<nowiki>fsck /dev/sda2 -y</nowiki>'' and reboot.
+  * Try running ''<nowiki>sudo update-grub</nowiki>''
+===== Crash History =====
+  * 2026-03-19. Using LM Studio which froze, likely used a large amount of memory (corrupt swap file?). Brave unresponsive. Reboot. Boots into BusyBox prompt. Reboot using USB boot disk. ''<nowiki>fsck /dev/sda2</nowiki>'' & ''<nowiki>timeshift --restore</nowiki>''. Noticed 'input/output' errors, but seemed to work. Reboot, system is restored. No system reports or crash reports in System Information.
