If you are here that means that you already booted.  Your user-space
does not start properly, and that may be a kernel fault or not.  It
is far from clear from what you posted.

In the worst case you can boot with 'init=/bin/bash' to a shell
prompt, if booting "single user" does not work, and check log files,
where errors are coming from, what 'dmesg' has to say, etc.
