I am seeking assistance with an issue I am facing in my XCP-NG configuration on an HPE DL360 G7 server. Despite using this server for about a year without any problems, I recently encountered an issue after cleaning it with a compressor.
Here's the situation: I unintentionally mispositioned a disk during the cleaning process. Upon restarting the server, a message indicating a faulty disk appeared. I promptly powered off the server, corrected the disk placement, and restarted the server. However, my XCP-NG instance no longer starts. Instead, I receive the following error message
(see image for complete message)
ACPI: SPCR: Unexpected SPCR Access Width. Defaulting to byte size.
Initramfs unpacking failed: junk in compressed archive.
APEI: Can not request [mem....] for APEI ERST registers
Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block(0,0)
It's worth noting that before shutting down the server for cleaning, I performed a complete system update. There's a possibility that this update may have caused damage to the system.
As a self-taught individual, I am aware that there might be gaps in my knowledge, and I am reaching out to the community for advice on diagnosing and resolving this issue.
I have already attempted to find solutions to this problem, but most of the information available pertains to issues on Ubuntu, not XCP-NG. Moreover, the solutions provided seem to be specific to Ubuntu and do not apply to my situation.
Here are the available boot options in GRUB : grub boot options
