PureOS boot freezes after disk decryption

Hi there,
my PureOS installation (latest updates installed) fails to boot after decrypting the disk. All I get is an underscore in the top right corner of the display.

Booting into recovery mode and running journalctl -xb shows me a couple of red errors:

i915 0000:00::02.o: firmware: failed to load i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin (-2)
firmware_class: See https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware for information about missing firmware

Later

Failed to open key file
Failed to activate with key file ‘/etc/cryptsetup-initramfs/cryptkey.gpg’. (Key file missing?)

Then even later

profiles/sap/server.c:sap_server_register() Sap driver initialilzation failed.
sap-server: Operation not permitted (1)
Failed to set mode: Blocked through rfkill (0x12)

The cryptkey.gpg file is there with -rw-r—r— permissions, which I think should be fine.

The issue showed up all of a sudden after a reboot, no clear clue why this might happen… any ideas would be appreciated.

Solution: Main HD was full. I assume it was hanging when trying to create swap? Either way, deleting some files, now all good.
