Proxmox VE 8 only boots with pinned kernel 5.15.30-2-pve (ZFS)

This morning I upgraded to Proxmox 8. All works well as long as I boot with kernel 5.15.30-2-pve. If I try booting with 5.15.108-1-pve or 6.2.16-4-pve I get an immediate kernel panic, which ends with "---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exit code ..."

My Proxmox 7 setup has been stable on kernel 5.15.30-2-pve.

/root/kernel/cmdline
Code:
root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs intel_iommu=on iommu=pt split_lock_detect=off

(I had some random instability every few weeks before adding split_lock_detect=off)

I'm not entirely sure what to provide but I'm happing to add whatever is needed to help diagnose of course. Here are a few things I think may be helpful:

uname -a

I have also tried booting the 6.x kernel without the following additions: "intel_iommu=on iommu=pt split_lock_detect=off", same result.


Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

Hello, I would start by checking if your hardware is running latest firmware. Additionally, depending on your CPU you might want to install either amd64-microcode or intel-microcode from the non-free-firmware repository.

Thank you for the suggestions. I'm researching how to do this now. In the meantime, here is some more info on the hardware.

It looks a version of intel microcode is already installed:

Trying unstable now to see if there are updates:

For anyone following along, I followed this thread. Which lead me to this how-to article on installing microcode from the unstable repo.

apt install intel-microcode

Copying and configuring kernels on /dev/disk/by-uuid/C7EC-0E57
        Copying kernel and creating boot-entry for 5.15.108-1-pve
        Copying kernel and creating boot-entry for 5.15.30-2-pve
        Copying kernel and creating boot-entry for 6.2.16-4-pve


Unfortunately, 6.2.16-4-pve still results in kernel panic, with and without the extra parameters
 
Could you boot once into the 6.2 kernel, and then reboot again into your working kernel,
then simply do an:
journalctl --boot=-1 > lastboot.txt
and upload that textfile? it will be helpfull to find out what happens.

Cheers

I did as instructed, but it doesn't seem to be recording anything on the 6.2 boot attempt.

Do keep in mind, when the kernel panic happens it's nearly instant, so it's likely the filesystem isn't even being mounted.

Here's the output though (which shows that last successful 5.15.30-2 boot only)

Would it be helpful if I attempt to boot stock Debian 12 or the Proxmox 8 iso from a USB flash drive to see if that works?

sad, then remove your log for privacy reasons.

Ugh, then the only other way i know i serial debugging, but maybe someone else has an better idea :-(

thats actually a great idea, just dunno how usefull that would be.
At least if it doesn't boots, we can be sure it lies somewhere in the kernel for sure...

Sorry for the delay, bringing the internet down is a hard thing to do in the household.

The Proxmox 8 installer boots just fine.
 
Long story short, I had to back up everything and do a full re-install to be able to use a new kernel.


Using slow motion video, I was able to catch the first few lines of the boot error, which says something like this before it flashes off the screen:
Begin: Mouning root file system ... /init: .: line 246: can't open `/scriptszfs` : No such file or directory Kernel panic ...
