I realize this isnt a WHM/Cpanel issue but hopefully this wonderful community can help. Today we had a hardware failure (motherboard) and after it was replaced the server was booted up by the techs at OVH. However, it was getting stuck at a Grub prompt screen. Unfortunately, OVH said we are on our own as they dont have software support. This actually happened last year at one point when we rebooted our server after a WHM update. At that time we just followed the instructions found here:

  Did the OVH techs ensure bios settings were the same - UEFI v BIOS?

  Well it's a bit hard to say what exactly you need to do as every system is different but basically: 1. Boot it into rescue 2. Mount the partitions to their respective folders (/mnt/boot, /mnt/home etc..) myLoc managed IT AG - FAQ - How do I mount disks in rescue mode? 3. Double check your fstab file with your boot partition partition (cat /mnt/etc/fstab) 4. Reinstall grub on that partition (grub2-install /dev/XXX) 5. Try to restart server and see if that worked. Again this is just a genetal guidance but hopefully helps...
