Proxmox/Ubuntu LVM issue - Exec format error

Question

I've ran apt update / upgrade on my proxmox server and now I can't seem to boot it into the new kernel (didn't pay too much attention on the update). Any ideas? I can't seem to figure out what's the issue with the LVM executable. Any help would be really appreciated.

That looks like something happened to upgrading the packages. I would suspect something else is going on but you can try reinstalling LVM2:

sudo apt install --reinstall lvm2

then see if that helps anything.

hummm, simple as that, eh? It did help.. thank you so much... I'll try to reboot and see if system becomes stable. Thank you again, I'll revert either way. – GeraldoMagella Jul 14 '22 at 21:09
