Really Need Some Help / Insight

So this morning I rebooted a proxmox dedicated server I have and all of a sudden it is telling me the following:

error: file '/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found.

Does anyone know how to fix this from grub? I asked support at HVH if they could look at it and they told me it was unrecoverable?

    Is this a UEFI bios?

    @MarkTurner not 100% positive, but I think it is.

    I have no experience with proxmox nor do I know if this a common issue but from a more general Linux standpoint it looks like your grub bootloader installation got messed up. Booting a rescue system, mounting / & /boot, chroot'ing and running grub-install should fix it.

    edit: You mentioned it's using EFI after I made my post, my solution probably isn't applicable then. :/

    It sort of is recoverable, but the reality is its faster to boot it in to a recovery mode, grab your configs and reinstall proxmox with the leave LVM in tact flags, pop your configs back in place and reboot, should take less than an hour.

    @AnthonySmith it seems like it is fairly simple to recover. The issue I'm having is I am not able to hop on the IPMI myself so I need someone to lend a hand and get it sorted. I don't think a reinstall is necessary.

    I'm not even sure what caused this in the first place. Nothing has been done on this box in a long time. I rebooted it and now this is whats happening.

  • AnthonySmithAnthonySmith Member, Host Rep

    I don't know the HVH/CC setup but if they have a boot in recovery mode option you could chroot and reinstall grub, that would probably sort it out, failing that you need IPMI I guess in either case for reinstall with LVM in tact or to do a recovery yourself if they dont have a PXE recovery image.
