Hi,

My PVE host is stuck at boot, recover mode with old kernels and original installer iso recover boot do not work. I have put images of roughly where it gets to however it is very inconsistent https://www.reddit.com/r/Proxmox/comments/1cak9cq/proxmox_stuck_at_boot.

Is there a way I can recover VM files? I understand that reinstalling will wipe the drive (of which there is only one + 1 for zfs which I'm not worring too much for). Would it be possible to forexample install PVE on an external drive, and then somehow access the drive of a VM?

Any other suggestions or is this unrecoverable?
