I was just working on something and decided to attach an ssd to a free slot in my supermicro superserver machine where I am running Proxmox, while it was still on. After I rebooted, Proxmox does not come up anymore and I am greeted by a Grub rescue screen. I have tried to reboot several times leaving everything as it was before the problem but no success in bringing Proxmox back to life.

Here is the screenshot:

I would really appreciate any hints as to what is going on and how to fix it.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Thanks for the reply and the info... It was actually an issue with the boot order being messed up following my attempt to attach the new ssd, which I fixed easily in the bios... I just do not understand why this happened but well it was easy to fix.
