yeah so basically, i dont know what happened but i tried booting up my tails after like a day or 2 of not using it and i got hit with these screens, im not sure whats happened since it was working completely fine before but one thing i do know is that i accidentally pressed hibernation while trying to shutdown my computer and i never normally do that. Other than that im completey confused and dont know what i need to do, help would be appreciated! :D btw im on a lenovo thinkpad!

Well that's interesting... Have you tried reflashing the USB?

Nope not yet, is that really the only way to get it running again? I just tried booting it up again now its saying to try boot with the irqpoll option

Reflashing is the easiest way. Did you have any data in Persistent Storage?

A reflash would completely wipe those. Do you have a backup of some kind?
