Glad this topic wasn’t closed as George had suggested.
I ran into a similar problem. In my case while my system was live, I deleted the swap partition after turning swap off using gparted.
(Nb: I am new to Solus and Linux).
I attempted a reboot which failed. Pc was stuck in blank screen and nothing changed after several reboot attempts and hours of waiting.
Here’s what I did to fix it, and in the order which I did it.
First, I created a live usb image of solus budgie and booted into it.
Next, I followed these instructions to perform a boot rescue. I mounted the root partition, ESP, and chrooted into my solus system.
While in the chroot environment:
I ran swapoff —all to turnoff all swaps (don’t know if it was necessary, but I did it anyways).
Then, I edited and commented out the UUID of the deleted swap partition from ´/etc/fstab’ and ´/etc/kernel/cmdline.d/10_resume.conf’.
Next, I executed sudo usysconf run -f to re-run system-wide configuration triggers and then exited chroot with exit.
Finally, I rebooted and this time it rebooted successfully.
Thanks DataDrake and everyone on this thread for the help.
