No Boot after Kernel Upgrade

Hello everyone, after the installation of the new Kernel I cannot boot the PBS VM anymore.
I figured that it always stuck here (recovery mode):

At this point the whole VM just freezes and thats it. With an older Kernel its working.
I tried then to repair the filesytem over a Live CD (Debian) which solves the problem until it just freezes when I try to reboot the VM in the new kernel.
The result is the same. Blackscreen and thats it.

If I repair or "check" the Filesystem it works but it cant be the solution that I always have to force reset the System and then check the Filesystem via Live-CD so the system can boot again. Is something similiar known?

kind regards
 
hi,



did you install a new kernel on the host PVE or inside the PBS VM?

could you post pveversion -v and qm config 106 output?
Its the new kernel inside of the PBS VM.

thanks for the outputs :)

which version did you install and which one does it work normally with?
I just replied with this informations.
I installed 5.15.39, but the last one reliable working is 5.13.19, which the VM is currently running without any problems.

So i tried to reboot it a few times with 5.15.39-1 and for now its working normally. What I did was to repair all the Hard disks via the Live DVD (all not only pbs-root) and now its working, but I think its quiet strange that the problem only accoured after the upgrade.
Also what is strange is, that Secure boot cant be determine anymore:
