[SOLVED] ln: failed to create symbolic link '/boot/pve/vmlinuz-5.11': Operation not permitted

I was installing PVE from debian bullseys. At 98% process, the error jumped just like this:

Setting up pve-kernel-5.11 (7.0-7) ...

The /boot partition is vfat. So the problem is it cannot make symbol links on vfat?

The /boot partition is vfat. So the problem is it cannot make symbol links on vfat?

yes - vfat does not support symbolic links

why is your /boot on a vfat partition?

yes - vfat does not support symbolic links

why is your /boot on a vfat partition?

While I was installing the Debian 11,the default option was that boot is vfat and a efi partition is also vfat too. I've found that debian make symbol links in the / partition instead of /boot.
