I've upgrade a debian LXC from buster to bullseye. After upgrade the LXC container refused to start and hang on " Reached target Basic System.".

I'm not sure how to debug this.

To upgrade the system, I simply ran:

apt update
apt upgrade
apt dist-upgrade

After restart. The container was not responding. I killed it using `kill -s 9 121` then ran `lxc-start -F 121`. Here the result.



Code:
root@boxter:/var/log# lxc-start -F 121

Detected virtualization lxc.
Detected architecture x86-64.

I've tried to rebuild the container with Debian Bullseye using a fresh template.
On initial start everything work fine. After upgrading, I have similar behavior. So clearly something wrong with Bullseye on Proxmox V7

Here the log when trying to start the container:
