Summary	0009570: Kernel panic after correctly entering password (GRUB, LUKS, 6.18.9+kali-amd64)
Description	Hello maintainers, I encountered a kernel panic during booting. I entered my luks password, then after checking if it's correct, kernel panic QR code showed up on my monitor. It's not the first time in the last months that it didn't boot, but first time when the new kernel panic screen showed up. Also, I used to experience long booting for a few months, which was fixed this year after some updates. Fortunately, the second boot was successful. The system was installed ~1 year ago.
