I have the same problem, apparently. I found the following, hardly readable errors on the screen:
WiFi was OK, so I could login from the PC. Wasted time trying to understand what (i2c?) device has a Who-Am-I register.
Then I figured I had messed up my home directory. I repaired it and now the pinephone boots fine.
I still have those errors in dmesg.
