upgrading rhel 8.8 to rhel 9.2 using leapp

Question

I have an azure rhel 8.8 server. I ran leapp against it that succeeded, however, when I reboot the server, and select the initramfs upgrade kernel, it does not boot. Also, when I try and select the original kernel it will not boot now. This is a M416ms_v2 size server. What is the problem and how is it fixed?
