I deleted Kali while it was still encrypted, then after about 2 months, I did a clean install to Kali Linux 2019.4 and as soon as I boot up it shows the following

[ 0.176527] DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3
[ 0.176533] DMAR: [DMA Read] Request device [00:17.0] fault address ba101000 [fault reason 06] PTE Read access is not set

Dropping to a shell.

Can anyone tell me how to make it to where it does not check for an encrypted vg?

I am running Kali Linux 2019.4 on a Dell Latitude 3590.

Was not looking for info on how to hack WiFi. That I already am well versed in. I was asking for info on how to remove an encrypted volume group after the harddrivr it was on is formatted.
