Hi.
Im trying to uninstall kernel 6.2.16-8-pve using the command apt-get remove proxmox-kernel-6.2.16-8-pve --purge but it doesn't work.
I did manage to remove kernel 6.2.16-6 using the same command but not with this one.
The output that Im getting is:
Code: 
root@pve:~# apt-get remove proxmox-kernel-6.2.16-8-pve --purge
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libupsclient4 telnet
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  proxmox-default-kernel* proxmox-kernel-6.2* proxmox-kernel-6.2.16-8-pve* proxmox-ve*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 4 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 572 MB disk space will be freed.

What can be the reason?
 
Hi,

why do you want to remove the kernel?
It's the latest kernel and the only one you have installed for 6.2 - thus you cannot remove it.

Im running Proxmox 8.0 with Kernel 5.15.108-1 due to the Realtek driver issue. Its the only workaround that worked for me.
Why do think its the only one thats installed?

Alright. Well, Proxmox 8.0 depends on the proxmox-kernel-6.2 image, due to it being the default kernel for the release.

So it's not really an option to uninstall that package, at least not if you want a working & supported system configuration.

I have a problem similar to yours. I did an installation from scratch with proxmox 8, the default is kernel 6 and I would like to install kernel 5, how do I do it?

I ended up installing proxmox 7.4-16 with kernel edge 5.19.17-1. Has been running 2 months perfectly without any issue.
