Yeah... What the fsck! :)

That's both usually THE solution (and the OP confirmed it worked for
them) and a very risky one (since you're giving it a blank card to do
whatever it feels necessary and you just have to hope that doesn't
result in a broken environment - which, if the system doesn't boot, to
start with, it already is).

:)

I've used that more than I would have wanted to... And so far it has
always worked for me as well.
