Hey guys,

New Proxmox user and everything has gone well and smooth.
I had a NFS mount over a single 10g link and before I productionise the server I thought I would make it a LACP bonded network.
Shutdown all the VM's, clicked to delete the 10g bridge and add a bond0 with two interfaces and clicked apply config.
System froze and I couldn't get to it from the 1gb management link anymore.
Jumped into ILO and issued a reboot, but gray screen comes up and can't do anything.
Is there any way to revert the last change, drop into a recovery shell and modify the config, or do anything to recover the host?
The gray screen comes up just after it lets me choose the two kernel versions of proxmox, I have tried both and both result in same gray screen

Many thanks

So I plugged my install USB back in hoping I'd be able to do some sort of recovery and perhaps manually edit a networking file and fix this problem, but when I choose recovery it can't see my boot, perhaps because its ZFS?

Has anyone else experience similar problems, either not being able to recover; changing networking on a storage interface to LACP and the box throwing a fit and not booting?
