Back story:

I have a Dell R510 with two m.2 NVMe drives installed with PCI adapters - These two drives are a ZFS pool that Proxmox boots from. Since the R510 does not natively support booting from NVMe I am booting from a clover USB drive that then loads Proxmox. This has been working great until I decided to muck with things today :)

I decided I wanted to attempt PCI passthrough and realized I did not have it enabled. I followed the the steps on this post https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PCI(e)_Passthrough but was still having trouble so went searching through the forum for answers. I came across this post, realizing I was booting UEFI, so I made the necessary changes to /etc/kernel/cmdline. I then ran pve-efiboot-tool refresh command and rebooted my server

Current state:

I was met with a initramfs after reboot. No biggie, I have been here before so I checked to see if my rpool was listed and attempted to import.
/sbin/modprobe zfs
then
zpool import rpool
Pool imports successfully, no errors!
Type exit to continue to boot

At this point a bunch of stuff scrolls on the screen too quickly for me to read and then I am sent back into initramfs


I have tried to booting from a live usb in an attempt to undo my /etc/kernel/cmd edits and salvage, but any time I boot, no matter the flavor of live linux I choose, upon trying to boot it just shows "invalid argument" over and over again.


Any ideas would be appreciated!
