Kernel not updating after reboot

[osopolar]

Hi Guys

Everytime for the past 4 updates i get taken to old looking install menu saying kernel old and i need to reboot to update.
I agree then it shows which service would you like to restart but only 1 selected .
But after every reboot i dont think my kernel is being updated i still see Linux proxmox 6.5.13-5-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC PMX 6.5.13-5 (2024-04-05T11:03Z) x86_64 GNU/Linux

If i do a manual apt update apt upgrade it says everything is fine ??

Never run apt upgrade on Proxmox. Run apt dist-upgrade or use the GUI: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#system_software_updates
Also make sure you have the right repositories setup: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#sysadmin_package_repositories

That looks fine. Did you run apt dist-upgrade, did it work? Is your system booting from the drive/partition that is updated?

Do you want me to run apt dist-upgradefrom terminal inside Proxmox or can i so it via a ssh login ?

It looks dist-ugprade worked. Make sure proxmox-boot-tool updates the ESPs that your system uses to boot from, if you still don't get the option during boot to use kernel 6.8.

root@proxmox:~# 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.
root@proxmox:~#

This looks wrong is it possible to fix it ?

Looks like proxmox-boot-tool is not managing your boot partitions, which is unexpected for a recent Proxmox installation. Maybe search for "switching to proxmox-boot-tool"?

EDIT: How did you install Proxmox?

From a USB directly all the other packages update no issue

Did you not install Debian 11 first (and PVE 7.x on top) and later upgrade to PVE 8? This screenshot looks like you did. Either switch to proxmox-boot-tool, or find out how to update your boot partition. Maybe you can find the procedure for this on the Wiki or search this forum?

Sorry yes I did it the way you described above
Question How does everything else update with no issue but not the kernel ?
I do not understand how it can update everything but not the kernel !
