[SOLVED] Proxmox-Boot-Tool Status vmlinuz not found

[dj_arbz]

I am in process of migrating to use the PBT and it looks like everything is processing correctly as per the documentation.

However, when I run proxmox-boot-tool status, I get the following output.

$ sudo proxmox-boot-tool status

If I mount those partitions that are missing the kernel, I only see a grub folder and nothing else.
To my understanding, proxmox-tool-refresh should make sure that the grub/EFI/kernels are synced?

afaik in legacy mode grub boot kernel from / not from boot part.
once you boot in efi mode, you can use proxmox-boot-tool to reinstall systemd with kernel sync on each boot part you want.
You can format boot part before install to wipe grub bootloader.

Ok, so if I understand correctly, the kernel only is installed on this partition if using UEFI?
My motherboard does not support UEFI, so I should be good to go?

sorry I forget the zfs legacy boot case, indeed grub is used and it needs kernel in boot partition in sync.
you can try proxmox-boot-tool init bootpart to reinstall / resync kernel

Still not working, here is the output of the init command.

afaik, nvme can't boot from lecagy bios mode.

Damn, ok.
Well I guess I'll just stick with my 2Gb USB to boot off of.
