Update Installed -- System booted in EFI-mode but 'grub-efi-amd64' meta-package not installed!

Looks all good to me. Note: it appears you have secure-boot enabled, but you are probably aware of this.
 
hi all, i have same issue,
i have installed package "grub-efi-amd64"
than i make reboot

what is the problem here, why this error comes, package was installed and rebooted. reboot works normal, but error comes. any ideas?

Solution was: proxmox-boot-tool init /dev/sda2
i have init manually my EFI Partition, why manually, no plan.

Hello,

I was getting the error about missing grub-efi-amd64 and did an apt install grub-efi-amd64 as suggested on this forum. This resulted in grub-pc being removed which is expected as I have a system that booted in efi not bios. Now I get new warning:

Code: 
grub-install.real: error: cannot find EFI directory.

I am confused about what steps should I take next? Is the system broken? Will it boot? This was a fresh install of v9 from about 4 months ago after catastrophic failure of 8to9 upgrade that broke boot. I really would not like to repeat that. I also see that /boot/efi is not mounted but partition exists on my nvme hard drive. Efi partition is also not in fstab as on my other systems. Why would this happen? What shall I do?

I also see installed packages:

Code: 
systemd-boot-efi/stable,stable,now 257.9-1~deb13u1 amd64 [installed]
systemd-boot-tools/stable,stable,now 257.9-1~deb13u1 amd64 [installed]

but bootctl status shows the following:

Is the system using grub or systemd-boot? Looks like grub to me. The boot drive is single nvme. LVM, no ZFS on it, no mirror. Is the boot broken or not? I dare not to reboot just to find out. Please advise.

also proxmox-boot-tool status reports:

Code: 
root@:~# proxmox-boot-tool status

Re-executing '/usr/sbin/proxmox-boot-tool' in new private mount namespace..

E: /etc/kernel/proxmox-boot-uuids does not exist.

My guess would be to do the following:

1. mount the existing efi partition to /boot/efi (and add it to /etc/fstab with UUID)
2. apt reinstall grub-efi-amd64
3. if needed do a grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=proxmox
4. update-grub

But I really want confirmation from you guys what to do. I don't want to mess up boot environment on this system. Thank you.

Best regards,
JF.
