[Software] Systemd: 'autofs4': function not implemented; Failed to start Load Kernel Modules

[postcd]

Hello,

upgrading from Debian 11 to 12 using apt installed new Kernel 6.1.0-25-amd64 and unlike in older 5.10.0-32-amd64 which works under both Deb. 11 & 12, the 6.x kernel does not work at boot of a Deb. 12 (11 is gone):

cryptsetup: sd5_crypt: set up successfully

/dev/sda5: UUID="f...e" TYPE="crypto_LUKS" PARTUUID="***"

my primary drive is sda, nvme* is a clone which has same UUID, I have tried to change the UUID if I remember correctly ( sudo cryptsetup luksUUID --uuid=newuuid /dev/sda5 ), but somehow it is back there after reboot, I am not 100% sure if i have really executed it and if it is correct to do it on a mounted partition 5.

ZFS is NOT on system drive, but on external USB drive.

grub.cfg boot entries and lsinitramfs .img content (zfs...)

Previously I had an issue with a cryptsetup source mismatch, where I have ran "sudo cryptsetup luksUUID --uuid=newuuid /dev/sda5 && sudo update-initramfs -u"
while the mentioned initramfs command shown only kernel 6 in its output, so I am wondering if the above mentioned boot issue may be related to the cryptsetup UUIDs, hopefully not.

Please kindly what to try/check to fix this?

Update: for some reason, next boot attempts are OK. I do not know why, some role may play new kernel *26 installation (received automatically during apt update).
