Hello,

I have change my CPU from AMD 3700 to 5700G on my proxmox server and i have a big problem.

SVM is well enabled on the bios :

My CPU is compatible SVM

lsmod | grep kvm give nothing

modprobe kvm-amd
modprobe: FATAL: Module kvm-amd not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.106-1-pve

I'm a little bit stuck here

Thanks for your help

Try it with an underscore instead:
Code: 
modprobe kvm_amd
 
If that doesn't work, check whether you have the file at /lib/modules/5.4.106-1-pve/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-amd.ko

It seems you are booted into a different kernel version. Did you update your kernel by any chance?
 
You can get a list of the installed kernels with this command:
Bash: 
dpkg --list | grep pve-kernel
 
Try to reinstall kernel with no luck :

Code: 
apt-get install --reinstall pve-kernel-6.2.16-5-pve

it's look like grub is messed up. the only bootlable kernel is 5.4.106-1. olders didn't boot (busybox)

To get your currently running kernel use:
Bash: 
uname -r

This will probably output 5.4.106-1-pve.

The easiest solution would be to just reboot into one of the versions listed by ls /lib/modules.

Then you will have to free up some space. A simple way to temporarily free up some space is to run apt clean
 
nothing change look like the device var/tmp/espmounts/3D38-8A16/... is not mounted
 
After reading your output of apt autoremove it seems to me that there is no space left on your boot partition.
 
To resolve this, you could mount the EFI partition and delete the older kernels.
To find out where that partition is, please run:
Code: 
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug  9 13:21 1ac77cfb-d1de-416d-aba9-1ef021066212 -> ../../dm-1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug  9 13:21 f41a9212-3205-48aa-a778-46281b117212 -> ../../dm-0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Aug  9 13:21 3D38-8A16 -> ../../nvme0n1p2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug  9 13:21 f41a9212-3205-48aa-a778-46281b117212 -> ../../dm-7

There should now be one shorter entry. In this case it is this one:
Code: 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Aug  9 13:21 3D38-8A16 -> ../../nvme0n1p2

Now that you know where your boot partition is, please mount it:
Code: 
mkdir /mnt/myesp
mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt/myesp

I have only one file bootx64.efi

Thanks a lot for your help.

I will reinstall proxmox.
I thing is the best thing to do.

Try checking how much space you have on that partition with df -h
