PVE8 -> PVE9 grub confusion

[weaselchops]

Hi all,
I have had a good dig through the forums. But I am a little unsure still

Running the pve8to9 script I see:

FAIL: systemd-boot meta-package installed. This will cause problems on upgrades of other boot-related packages. Remove 'systemd-boot' See https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_8_to_9#sd-boot-warning for more information.

Running some more commands

root@proxmox-infra:~# proxmox-boot-tool status
Re-executing '/usr/sbin/proxmox-boot-tool' in new private mount namespace..
System currently booted with uefi
9338-B74F is configured with: grub (versions: 6.8.12-16-pve, 6.8.12-17-pve)
9339-0A22 is configured with: grub (versions: 6.8.12-16-pve, 6.8.12-17-pve)
root@proxmox-infra:~# grub-install --version
grub-install is disabled because this system is booted via proxmox-boot-tool, if you really need to run it, run /usr/sbin/grub-install.real

It looks like grub is in use, but controlled by proxmox-boot-tool
So systemd-boot is ok to remove here?

Sorry if this has been answered already.

Any hints please?

yes should be fine and needed.

See https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrad...ation_automatically_and_should_be_uninstalled for more background details as to why.
