How to load a kernel in OVH rescue mode

I have a ubuntu 22.04 in OVH
kernel panic not syncing fatal exception unable to mount rootfs.
I was able to do login into rescue mode and see the files. How can I recover the OS through rescue mode.

Take a backup of the files and reinstall the server, it doesn't make sense to try to fix it.

I don’t think the issue above is covered by their support as the issue is with software and service is unmanaged.
Try to run a KVM and mount your disk(s) to it. You can see the entire boot process. It possible too that load an own OS with KVM with your own requirements.
This actually happened on one of my Hetzner dedis about a week ago while trying to upgrade to a new version. I think it broke mid-upgrade while I was sleeping. Tried a handful of things in rescue mode and a KVM session but after a bit I just ended up packaging up my important files, pulling them down and reinstalled a fresh updated OS.
Your best bet would be to load through qemu an OS with an S/FTP server and get the files off, then reinstall and get the files back.
I'd just mount and chroot into the installation then rebuild the initramfs and grub config.
Thanks everyone
