Those asterisks are also red, and moving left to right, the same as
seen during shutdown when something won't politely die.

Only two things look interesting to me under "list units::
# systemctl list-units
getty@tty1.service                                loaded inactive
dead      start Getty on tty1
plymouth-quit-wait.service                        loaded activating
start     start Hold until boot process f

Since tty1 would be the console, it makes sense that it would be dead.
I have no idea what a "plymouth" is.

dmesg showed nothing that looked wrong.

There is no problem with partition space.
