Gave it a 2nd thought prior to scratching the VM...

It turns out I applied a bunch of updates (including the kernel). As
/boot is not part of the snapshot I took (since it's an ext4 filesystem
by default) ...the system booted with the recently installed kernel (and
not the one I had when I took the snapshot) so I had an inconsistency
there.  Once I selected the previous kernel from the GRUB menu the
system booted seamless.

I see we put /boot as a separate filesystem during installation (default
settings) but really..is it necessary these days considering GRUB
supports BTRFS?  If I had /boot as a directory of the BTRFS root
subvolume, a simple snapshot of the root filesystm would suffice :(

Chris: do you have /boot as part of BTRFS?

Thanks.
