The change in the fstab seems to have worked only once. Today, it doesn't boot again (with the changed fstab). I've tried switching from UEFI to Legacy mode without luck, too.

The last message I see is "Reached target Bluetooth". Before that, there are several failed services. GDM doesn't come up. After logging in on tty2, I saw that the root partition was mounted read-only. Inspecting the messages of e.g. systemd-resolved shows that it didn't start because of the read-only filesystem. After remounting it fw, I was able to restart the daemons and could also start GDM and login fine. My fstab shows: UUID=a936dbe9-5ab5-4272-aaae-d22030824373 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 The UUID is correct as "mount / -o remount,rw" works fine. Booting with the previous kernel doesn't change anything.
