Hello, i have a "problem".

proxmox-ve: 7.4-1

I did an upgrade and:

Bash:
Setting up openssh-client (1:8.4p1-5+deb11u2) ...
Setting up libyajl2:amd64 (2.1.0-3+deb11u2) ...
Setting up libcurl3-gnutls:amd64 (7.74.0-1.3+deb11u9) ...
Setting up libprotobuf23:amd64 (3.12.4-1+deb11u1) ...
Setting up grub-pc (2.06-3~deb11u6) ...
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (Dialog frontend requires a screen at least 13 lines tall and 31 columns wide.)

rformed.

grub-install.real: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding.
grub-install.real: warning: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However
, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
grub-install.real: error: diskfilter writes are not supported.
Configuring grub-pc
-------------------

GRUB failed to install to the following devices:

/dev/md5 /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/md2

Do you want to continue anyway? If you do, your computer may not start up properly.

Writing GRUB to boot device failed - continue? [yes/no]

I don't know if yes or no....

Bash:
# dpkg -l | grep -i grub
rc  grub-cloud-amd64                     0.0.5                          amd64        GRand Unified Bootloader (cloud setup)

ii  grub-efi-amd64-bin                   2.06-3~deb11u6                 amd64        GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (EFI-AMD64 modules)

ii  grub-pc-bin                          2.06-3~deb11u6                 amd64        GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIOS modules)
ii  grub2-common                         2.06-3~deb11u6                 amd64        GRand Unified Bootloader (common files for version 2)
