Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH manager v3 2/2] 8 to 9 checks: check for removable grub-install
Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2025 22:30:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250807203004.336616-3-s.ivanov@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250807203004.336616-1-s.ivanov@proxmox.com>
some upgrades result in unbootable systems, which can be traced back
to grub being installed in BOOTX64.efi, but not being upgraded by
grub-install. Refer the cases to the output of
`proxmox-boot-tool refresh` as it has a sensible check logic for those
cases. Some affected systems printed the warning of proxmox-boot-tool,
but it was lost in the large output of the dist-upgrade.
