From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

More context please: What happened? What were you doing? What does you setup look like?
It's an acer laptop i5 GeForce mx 130, basically I updated the linux firmware and put it on suspend but nvidia GPU did it's thing and it didn't wake up from sleep. So I has to power it off directly and it booted up to this.
From the looks of it, grub is grumpy. Do you get this after choosing a boot option? If so, can you try choosing recovery vs regular boot? If not, you may need to get a live USB plugged in and reinstall grub.
Edit: on further searching, this might be a zfs error. Are you using openzfs?
Thanks it's fixed, i booted into an old kernel.
If you're using ZFS, make sure you're using an LTS kernel.
