There is a similar problem for another user on this thread after their update as well:
https://community.parrotlinux.org/t/cant-load-parrot-os/10592

How did you upgrade? Did you use the parrot-upgrade command?

Have you tried booting a different kernel? The other user with similar panic was able to successfully boot on another kernel under advanced options on grub under dmknght’s advice.

I did not upgrade. I tried booting to different kernels, but ran into the same problem.

Can you try with live boot usb?

This also just happened to me after i upgraded with “sudo parrot-upgrade” so i had to go under advanced options and boot from a older kernel

not here to hijack the thread but thought it was worth mention :slight_smile:
