Proxmox 9.2.4 boot error - kernel panic

[edwardintexas]

My proxmox 9.2.4 pve server boots to a kernel panic screen.

This more than likely occurred after I (ignorantly) removed old kernels to free up space.
The server runs two vm's and I have screen captures of the network and disk config just prior to this error.

I am mostly a windows guy, so any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Quick update:

I have installed proxmox on a new ssd so I can either fix the orig one or import vm's and config from the old to the new.

If you want to repair the original installation, I would first inspect the old disk from the new Proxmox install before making any changes.

For example, check whether the old root filesystem, /boot, and VM configuration files are still present. The output of lsblk -f would be useful to understand the disk layout.

In particular, I would check:

/boot
/etc/pve/qemu-server/
/etc/pve/storage.cfg
/etc/network/interfaces

That should help decide whether repairing the old install or importing the VMs into the new install is the safer path.
