This is more of a FYI than anything else, and creating to help out others if not documented or searchable already (I know it wasn't with this error in particular)
Recently I swapped from a CPU (AMD) with iGPU to a CPU with higher specs but with no iGPU.
Had myself stuck on the /dev/mapper/pve-root: clean screen due to this.
There were no issues or anything from my end.
- VM's on auto start were working
- I can access the Proxmox server with no problem.
- It was just the physical access to the server if anything had gone wrong.
I had a look at other answers and reddit, however my issues was due to VIFO which took control of the GPU before the whole node could when booting up.
In this case, did the following:
## Blank out Vifo on the modprobe.d
nano /etc/modprobe.d/vfio
# options vfio-pci ids=10de:2489,10de:228b disable_vga=1
## Update the initramfs
update-initramfs -u
## Reboot the server
reboot
Once I was done, I ran the following:
lsmod | egrep 'nvidia|vfio'
lspci -k -s 2b:00.0
dmesg | egrep -i 'nvrm|vfio|already bound' | tail -n 50
Thing to note, I did install the Nvidia driver for the GPU I had (3060TI) at 595 as of this discussion:

I am not an expert and learning as I go.
Hope this helps.
