7.4-16 to 8 migration fails

Hello to all awesome proxmox devs and users!

I followed the upgrade guide, and during the upgrade (from GUI Updates >_ Upgrade button)
the console window exits with the following error: i have not attempted to reboot this node, i fear it will fail to boot in this state.

Hi,

I followed the upgrade guide, and during the upgrade (from GUI Updates >_ Upgrade button)

the upgrade guide clearly mentions that you shouldn't use the UI for the major upgrade, because the connection will be lost: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_7_to_8#Actions_step-by-step

the console window exits with the following error: i have not attempted to reboot this node, i fear it will fail to boot in this state.

Please share the full output of the following commands

apt update
apt dist-upgrade

 

[kdude]

here's what that gives now

Sounds like everything is in place then. Please also check the output of the pve7to8 helper script and if you really want to make sure, re-install the kernel package, but apt doesn't complain about it not being configured, so it should be fine.
