There was a problem with the GRUB configuration and the hard drives.

Your System is up-to-date

After restarting I get the following error message when booting.

Error Boot PVE.png

Now Proxmox only starts with kernel 6.8.12-3 pve.

How do I get the kernel 6.8.12-4-pve to run now?

Replacing BTRFS Raid SSD or Restore with PBS:
How can I replace the 2nd SSD in the system without much reconfiguration?

Or should I rather restore Proxmox with new hard drives from the backup with PBS?
Do I have to save any onfigurations for this?

Greetings

@NetITx: As you not mention your hw config I assume you have a btrfs raid1 for pve ? And one (sdb) of the 2 disks is broken now. When you try to boot I mean btrfs is going into readonly if 1 disk is missing ... So I would first try to rebuild your raid1 with a new disk.
After that you can do "apt-get reinstall" to refresh all packages. We just updated and had no problems with 6.8.12-4 on cluster nodes, includes pve only and debian upgraded to pve nodes.
 
I am going to Update my host. Lets see if it brakes. I will check in with my friend tomorrow and check his system. I think he is using a mirror for boot.

I booted the older kernel 6.8.12-3 pve an pinned it.

@waltar
Yes I have a BTRFS Raid 1 for PVE.
I booted with kernel 6.8.12-3 and there are no signs that it is read-only mounted.
Maybe i have to check deeper.
Where should i start ?

May I ask what command you used to upgrade? Your output does not look consistent to what I would expect from the regular apt-get dist-upgrade that Proxmox uses, as shown here. Maybe you did plain apt upgrade ? This should NEVER be done within Proxmox. Maybe I'm missing something. Correct me, if this is the case.
