Seems like I somehow destroyed my Proxmox installation, hopefully someone can help me restore it :eek:
Today I ran all the latest updates, shutdown the system and did a BIOS update.

When it loads up GRUB, I see 3 different version to boot
Proxmox Virtual Environment GNU/Linux, with Linux 5.4.128-1-pve
Proxmox Virtual Environment GNU/Linux, with Linux 5.4.124-1-pve
Proxmox Virtual Environment GNU/Linux, with Linux 5.3.18-3-pve

Every one of them gives me the same error.

Loading Linux 5.4.128-1-pve...
error: file (vmlinuz-5.4.128-1-pve' not found.
Loading inital ramdisk ...
error: you need to load the kernel first.

Any idea how I can safe this installation?

The installation is on a nvme ZFS mirror.
