Cannot start ES after upgrading from 7.x to 8.x

This is the error in my journalctl:

Sep 20 11:39:43 ELK-Stack.uhtasi.local systemd[1]: Starting Elasticsearch...
Sep 20 11:39:50 ELK-Stack.uhtasi.local systemd-entrypoint[29322]: Error occurred during initialization of boot layer

If anyone can help

Could you share Elasticsearch full logs please?

Did you first upgrade to version 7.17 as outlined in the documentation?

Yes I resolved the issues in Upgrade Assistant prior to upgrading.

It seems my elasticsearch.log actually isn't even being updated.
