Cannot boot after upgrade from Trisquel 10 to 11

Hi all!
I've been using Trisquel for years on my Coreboot ThinkPad X200 (btw, thanks for your work on that great distro!) and all upgrades went smooth so far. So recently I did the upgrade from 10 to 11 (with 'sudo do-release-upgrade') and the upgrade went through without any errors. But the reboot gets stuck at the GRUB background image (see attached photo). I'm not able to get to any console with Ctrl+Alt+F1-12, so I'm kind of stuck in finding out what the problem might be.
Any hints how I might resolve this? Thanks in advance. :)

Did you have Trisquel installed with encrypted boot? I.e. you had to type a passphrase from the very begining? I had that before on my X200 but I can't remember how it exactly looked like.
Hi Avron! Thanks for the hint. But no, neither drive nor any partitions are encrypted on my X200.
Just some updates:
I have booted the Trisquel 11 Live ISO and it seems to work fine with my laptop. So it doesn't seem to be a general Trisquel 11 issue.
I have zero to limited experience in troubleshooting system logs. But I looked at the syslog file and found these entries at the end:

Not entirely sure how to interpret this, but there seems to be some issue with starting the desktop environment?
Again, any help here highly appreciated. I can also provide full/more logs, if needed.

These log entries look like a system switching off while you mentioned that boot wasn't successful. Since you see the GRUB background, I don't know whether GRUB started booting linux at all. If so, it would be possible to look for logs.
However, reinstalling Trisquel might be easier. If you have a separate home partition, you can select the option to keep it (but better to have a backup in case of mistake). You can also do a backup of /home and /etc to an external disk (/etc is only useful if you modified something there) with BackInTime, do a default install from the live USB and restore /home.
One more thing that would be useful is to save the list of installed packages so that you can reinstall them all at once. I normally save and restore the list with synaptic but in your case that is not possible since you cannot boot your system. I guess it may be possible to boot on the live USB, mount your disk, chroot to it, and save the output of "apt list --installed | grep '/' | cut -d'/' -f1" (the number of packages it gives for me is exactly the same like synaptic) but I am not sure what is the proper way to install the packages from that list.
Perhaps someone has the answer to that.
Assuming the list of packages was saved in a file named "packages" in the working directory, that should work:
$ sudo apt install $(cat packages)
You can also save the installed packages with dpkg:
$ dpkg --get-selections > packages
To restore:
$ dpkg --set-selections < packages
$ sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade
Thanks, Avron and Magic Banana, for your valuable hints and sorry for my late reply. In fact I decided to do a re-install.
