System unbootable after upgrade to 22.04

cn flag

After system upgrade to 22.04 (from 20.04) system is not bootable. It complains that it can't find /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root and defaults to an initramfs shell // BusyBox.

I believe there was an issue during upgrade due to /boot being too full, which was in a separate partition (in the meantime, I have moved /boot to the root folder using instructions found here: https://visualplanet.org/blog/?p=460 )

Initially I followed the instructions found here, which lists what seemed a very similar problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1313169 , but it had problems when installing grub. Also checked this very similar post: System boots to initramfs after upgrade from 21.10 to 22.04 . Partprobe not available on BusyBox, so no success.

I can chroot into the system from a LiveUSB without trouble, and I have made a backup of the data. I have also since updated all packages. Ubuntu is the only system installed.

I have also tried to use the boot-repair tool, unsuccessfully. Full output of boot-repair can be found here: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/YTtf85ty4T/ I have been trying so many things that I have admittedly lost track -- I think the best start would be the output of boot-repair to get a picture of the current situation. Last attempt was creating a EFI partition following this: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/GRUB_2_von_BIOS_nach_EFI_umstellen/ It all seemed to go well, but... surprise, didn't boot. No change. Tried to use boot-repair again to no avail, here's the output: paste.ubuntu.com/p/JQyBxhdsJh

Where's the issue? Haven't been able to start my system for two days, and I'm in great need! Thanks for any tips.

Starting to lose hope... I might as well make a fresh install. But I don't really want to lose my configuration.
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
