VCSA update failed GRUB error: not a regular file

Hi,

I used the update feature of the VCSA portal to upgrade to 6.5.0.22000-9451637, on reboot, if I press "e" to clear the Photon splash screen, I am presented with:

setparams 'Photon'

   linux "/"$photon_linux root=$rootpartition net.ifname=0 $photon_cmd\

line coredump_filter=0x37 consoleblank=0

   if [ "$photon_initrd" ]; then

       initrd "/"$photon_initrd

   fi

If I then press F10 (to boot), I get the error message:

Booting a command list

error: not a regular file.

Press any key to continue...

So it looks like there is a bug in the update. The only result I can find, related to this message is here, however, I don't know where or how to get to photon.cfg.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I may be able to fix this?

If I get the ISO file and boot from the media, will this fix the issue, or wipe my install?

TIA.

W.
