[SOLVED]Moved SSD to new hardware; freezes on boot unless I switch tty

I've moved my original boot ssd to new hardware assuming it would be a relatively painless transition based on forum posts like this one.

I'm now able to boot into the ssd after using an installation environment to generate a new fstab file, reinstall/reconfigure grub, and update initramfs, but instead of booting to the Gnome login screen there is a flood of messages followed by a full system freeze. The display shows a blank screen with a cursor that doesn't blink, and the system is unresponsive meaning I can't switch to tty2, tty3, etc. (Side note: I have a ZSA moonlander keyboard and during this system freeze my layer toggle keys no longer respond either)

I can avoid this freeze by switching terminals before the messages are finished scrolling and the blank screen appears. Once in one of the other terminals I am able to log in and access the system without any further issues aside from audit messages suddenly appearing in the terminal display from time to time.

Here's the journalctl output for a frozen boot: Pastebin

This is my first post on the forums, but I know y'all like lots of info so just let me know what might help diagnose this issue and I'll share it as soon as I can. (I'm still fairly new to linux so sharing how to get the info will help me get it to you faster)

Any input is appreciated!

Edit: tty1 remains unresponsive even after logging in through another terminal and staying on tty1 too long will cause a freeze as previously described. startx does not work in any other terminals (command not found)

the  current issue with the 5.18 kernel not loading modules that lack the ENBR instruction. Add "ibt=off" to your kernel parameters.
