Sorry for the silly title. I thought I had proxmox running on my raid hds. I wanted to update my bios, so I pulled out the USB stick, saw proxmox on it, and didn't make the connection. I wiped it, and put the BIOS update files on the USB stick.
Now my proxmox instance won't boot. I get to the blue screen (i guess grub), and select proxmox, and it throws a kernel panic, and says it will reboot in 30 seconds. Is there any way I can restore functionality?
 
Not sure if this helps but I believe you can try to re-install grub from rescue mode?

I did try creating a bootable usb of the latest version, and when I booted from USB, it seemed to work fine. I was able to power on some VMs. But then I noticed some odd behavior, like the "sudo" command not found.

EDIT: I did a reboot, and now it won't boot at all. Here is what I am encountering. It looks like some kind of hardware error?
