Bug Description
I installed it the first time, while it was still in the development edition. After the April release the system often had boot issues, the first boot failed and the second boot succeeded. Two weeks ago all boots failed except the boots in the alternate mode.
So I decided to reinstall the system. I took a copy from the up-to-date working version of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and after the upgrade the 24.04 system booted the first time. Afterwards the system always failed to boot. I tried the 6.5 kernel of Linux, still present from 22.04 and the first boot was fine, but here also all following boots failed.
I can only boot the system through recovery mode, thus in X11 mode (800x600) and I have to change the display settings manually. In Wayland it does not even reach the login screen.
Sometimes e.g Ubuntu Budgie also fail on the first boot, but is OK on the second. Other other versions of Ubuntu from 16.04 ESM till 22.04 LTS work fine and so do Linux Mint 22; Zorin 17; Fedora 40; Manjaro; Debian 12 and OpenSuse Leap 15.5. Also Windows XP, 10 and 11 work fine.
I tried to collect more info in recovery mode, but that fails to bring up a browser screen and so I assume that info is last, because the displayed http address did not exsist.

Thanks for the bug report.
We will need to see a boot log that's not in recovery mode. Please reproduce the bug again, then reboot into recovery mode and run:
journalctl -b-1 > prevboot.txt
And attach the resulting text file here.
