I want to install Debian over an existing Debian install with an existing home partition in an encrypted lvm (to upgrade to testing), and I have been practising in a vm.

After trying to follow the advice on https://www.blakehartshorn.com/installing-debian-on-existing-encrypted-lvm/, I successfully reached the end of the installation, but when I try to boot into my system, I get the error(s) shown in the attached screenshot.

Any idea what I did wrong/need to do?

Edit: “sgx: There are zero EPC sections” is something that displayes when booting successfully into a machine that works too.

    Its going to be way easier to upgrade via apt. Can you share what errors you were seeing?

      I tried a dist-upgrade in a virtual machine with xfce then left it for a bit. When I got back, black screen with a terminal cursor in the top right. I left it for a bit more, then tried to get a tty terminal using the keyboard shortcuts that Boxes provides, but it would only show the login for a split second before returning to the blank screen with just a cursor.

      I decided to try to soft restart with the button in boxes. It seemed to shutdown successfully, but when it tried to boot back up it gave a kernel panic instead.
