Why?

Hi,

As mentioned in our wiki on Roadmap [0] section (Known Issues & Breaking Changes)

Code:
The Proxmox VE 8.2 releases will install and use the 6.8 Linux kernel by default, a major kernel change can have a few, hardware specific, side effects.

The workaround, as you did, is to pin the older pve-kernel, or you have to check your BIOS/UEFI PCi Firmware server if are up-to-date.

Further to this: The buggy firmware in the HP Gen8 Microserver (bios J06 04-04-2019 is the latest) will cause kernel 6.8 to corrupt ZFS pools with unrecoverable errors on my PBS server. Rolling back to 6.5.13-5 prevents this.

Glad I have two PBS servers with sync enabled.
