Kernel Upgrade 5.14.0-611.54.6.el9_7.x86_64 has killed my server

Server is unbootable after cPanel notification told me to reboot to run kernel 5.14.0-611.54.6.el9_7.x86_64.

My only access is via AWS Cloudshell but the volume can't connect due the kernel problem so I'm now dead in the water.

  I've gone through the rigmarole outlined here - https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/revert-stable-kernel-ec2-reboot and my server is still f**ked.

  The problem was that /etc/fstab was trying to boot from the wrong volume.

  We changed it to use the UUID instead of the device name and the problem was solved.

  What I don't understand is why after nearly a year of regularly rebooting this server without any problems, this suddenly occurred

  Every time when I install CloudLinux I get this message:

  
  WARNING! Your /etc/fstab configuration is not explicit about device mounting on boot/efi.
  This is not a CL software issue but this potentially can cause problems with booting the CL kernel.
  It is strongly recommended to contact your hosting provider before proceeding.
