PVE 8.2 / Kernel 6.8.4-2 does not boot - cannot find root device

A new PVE kernel version 6.8.8-2-pve has been released by Proxmox, and it contains the fix for this problem. I just installed and test-booted it on my machine, and it indeed works fine and fixes the issue, so I'd consider this CLOSED.

If you were affected and install and successfully test this kernel, you will have a line like this in your dmesg output:

Code:
root@linus:~# dmesg | grep VPD
[    3.483058] scsi 0:3:0:0: scsi_get_vpd_size: long VPD page 0 length: 516 bytes

This is the dev_warn_once from Martin's fix, see above.

I updated to 6.8.8-2-pve and now, my PERC H310 (Dell T420 server) is working without any issues!

Thanks pschneider1968 for your support
