46 I updated my servers last weekend and all moved to 4.19.27, 2 use ZFS for the filesystem, several are VMs on top of Xen. None had any issues.
47
48 The messages you show make me think they are from an initrd, not the actual kernel. I would investigate that first and make sure your initrd is actually updated as well.
49 Did you copy the text? Or did you manage to grab the output somehow?
50
51 Also, which init system and initrd are you using?
