Proxmox 9 boot issues

I have an HPE microserver gen 8 that I just upgrade to version 9 and I get those terrible failures on boot.
I initially tried to do a clean install but it showed an error related to GRUB files, so I installed version 8 and then upgraded to 9 (`pve8to9 --full` showed no errors).
I followed the official guide and everything seemed to go well, but when I rebooted the machine I got those errors.

I can boot to the previous version of the kernel and to the recovery mode of the new kernel, but I am not sure what I need to do from here to fix this.
I can continue with the old kernel, but I still prefer to be on the latest version if possible.

Could you please share the output using the forum’s code formatting?

This may be related to filesystem errors, an underlying disk or I/O issue, or a storage-driver regression in the newer kernel.

@kawano-y I got it from the ILO interface so I don't really have it as text, but I'll convert it

[ 16.434665] EXT4-fs (dm-1): Remounting filesystem read-only
Well..., now the seconds before this one would be interesting. Everything here is too late.

Is it possible to catch them the same way? There must be a reason for "remount read-only" - possibly/hopefully logged in the seconds before.

ILO has a local device management and an error log, right? Did you check that?

What is the state (on the console) at the end? Do you get a login prompt? (Just press "Enter" to (possibly) trigger it to get redrawn).

I don't see it in the ILO logs, will try to reboot again to capture those logs before.

Anyway, after those errors I get a blank console and no option to login and it doesn't respond to any input

This is all the output I get after the selecting the new kernel, and again, after that is a blank screen (the zfs-error is fine, I have TrueNAS VM):
