Before i've the same error witk kernel 5.15.x and moved to /tmp folder.
Now with 5.4 error still persist.
Any help?

Thanks
 
I'm having the same issue. I believe it to be a result of removing proxmox-ve before the upgrade, but I haven't figured out a solution yet. It won't let me reinstall proxmox-ve as it needs packages that are installed by proxmox-ve.

The server below is a disaster, need to be reinstalled Proxmox again like the first time.
I will not update the other servers before upgrade will be safe.

kernel 5.4 ? This is the kernel of pve6 ...(pve7 was minimum kernel 5.11 -> 5.15).

are you sure that your node was not a pve6 ????

All kernel reported an error like this.

I've also tried to install latest with: apt install pve-kernel-6.1.

they are no latest 6.1 . The current first kernel for pve 8.0 is 6.2.

as I said, if you was previously on pve7, it's not possible to have 5.4 kernel installed. (the minimum kernel for pve7 was 5.11)

As wrote on my first post:

"Before i've the same error witk kernel 5.15.x and moved to /tmp folder.

Also tried with 6.1.
The issue could not be fixed.
 
you can try "touch /usr/share/proxmox-kernel-helper/scripts/functions"

to create an empty missing file

(not sure I'll work)

but something is wrong here, as you are missing proxmox-kernel-helper scripts

(you can try to reinstall proxmox-kernel-helper package when the upgrade is done, apt reinstall proxmox-kernel-helper)

(BTW, you shouldn't use pvetest repo, the final release of pve8 has been you, you can use the no-subscription repo)
