[SOLVED] GRUB not updating with update-grub

[ma-mod]

Hi Guys,

I have a Problem with my setup.

Proxmox is running on a ZFS Mirrored Drive and now I want to change the Bootflags in GRUB. I want to add/change this line:
"GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on hugepagesz=1G default_hugepagesz=1G"

My Problem: update-grub is never taking any effect on grub.
I tried with adding these Bootflags to /etc/default/grub.d/XYZ.cfg, didnt help.

Anyone any Idea?
I think its updating some other config, but not the one which is used. If I type in the flags on boot manually (via e on grub) its working fine...

If you need any further information, please let me know

Thanks guys

Which version of Proxmox VE did you install initially and did you install it in BIOS/Legacy mode or UEFI?

Background: if it was installed with AFAIR 6.0 in UEFI mode it does not use GRUB as a bootloader but systemd-boot. More information and how to set boot flags for the kernel can be found in our documentation: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#sysboot

Hi aaron,
Thanks for your answer! Seems that this could be the problem.

I have the plain black GRUB Bootloader and also the file

cat /etc/kernel/pve-efiboot-uuids
26CB-F9E9
26CC-48EB

is present on my system. So I would say I'm using the UEFI Boot with systemd-boot.
I will read into your linked documentation, I'll let you know when it worked.
So far, Thank you very much!

EDIT: Ah sorry, missed that: I'm using PVE 6.1-3 and it was installed initially with this version.



--> UPDATE:
It worked! Thank you so much.

For other peoples which might have the same problem:
Ive just added the bootflags to /etc/kernel/cmdline
ran /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-pve-efiboot and rebooted - thats it.

Can be marked as solved

ran /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-pve-efiboot and rebooted - thats it.

For future readers, please run pve-efiboot-tool refresh as mentioned in the documentation instead of the snippet which is not guaranteed to stay the same in the future.

You can do that by editing the first post and setting the title prefix accordingly. Thanks
