Hello, we've tried to upgrade our cluster running 7-4-15 to latest 8. Pve7to8 didn't showed any problems, upgrade was fine as well. The issue is that it does not boot anymore after reboot, neither with new 6.5 kernel nor with old 5.15.x
This is what I see in IPMI console, it just stuck

I've booted to Live CD and chroot'ed to it but couldn't find anything in logs. Had suspicious about lvm.conf and already created a default one, but same issue. It happens on two nodes in cluster which are some old Supermicros X9DR3 mainboards, so not only one server.

EDIT SOLVED: It was "ntpdate" bug https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_7_to_8#Network_Setup_Hangs_on_Boot_Due_to_NTPsec_Hook
