Hello.
i've been trying to do the upgrade from 8-9 and keep running into the fail issue: systemd-boot meta-package installed....remove 'systemd-boot' .
i've checked/installed grub - no issues
ran the efibootmgr -v cmd looking for grubx64 but am not seeing it - only this:
does this mean that for some reason grub isn't in use - and if how, how can i correct this?
full msg at the bottom whenever i ran the pve8to9 --full.
