I have a VPS in OVH. I think maybe they have updated the kernel and now my server is not going up.

I have entered in KVM and I see the system stuck with the message:

Booting from Hard Disk...
MBR

SYSLINUX 6.03 EDD 20150107 Copyright (C) 1994-2014 H. Peter Anvin et al
_ (cursor here)

I have accessed the server in rescue mode to see the boot. The file is on /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf with the content:

default linux
timeout 1
label linux
kernel boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64
append initrd=boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64 root=/dev/vda1 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 ro quiet

I have checked the file on the rescue system and it is the same.

I have opened a ticket but I need my system up fast.

Some ideas about fix it?

The problem was with OVH.

My server expired so I paid after the expiration. Usually the system is going up again without problems but in this case they assigned the wrong disk to the boot.

The only solution possible was contact them and they fixed it.

I had the same issue, also on OVH after the last update. After looking in the boot folder, I had two different versions: vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64 & vmlinuz-3.16.0-5-amd64 I changed in both extlinux.conf files the version and it worked.
