A lot of people concern abut latest PVE 9 about kernel panic

Find it myself,
If this can help then use in your new installation unformatted disk/disks.
Looks like the using old disks will give you an issues with old boot loaders.
I solve it for myself using old disk but unformatted for installation of PVE9.

The issue is with PVE9 installer is not cleaning and formating drive in proper way.
On boot up there are old mbr records on drive and then you are getting kernel panic not able to read drive properly.

I found when doing two installations of my new PVE9 node to get doubled LINUX Boot Manager in boot entry.

Hope this help.

Just though but helped me a lot
 
I'm getting kernel panic today as well. I woke up this morning and all VM's and containers had names missing and looking like 103(?) ...

I can't get my node online anymore. When starting containers it just stays frozen
