Hello to all,

as a new member of this forum - I hope my first post is okay? If not, please feel free to give me feedback—but don't “stone” me :oops:

I'm currently updating from 8 to 9...
So far, I've been able to fix all the errors in the Checker script, but I'm stuck on this one:
"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."

If I delete this, the machine may no longer boot...

How can I find out if I can safely run a

Code: 
apt remove systemd-boot
?

I've had some negative experiences with Bootmgr in recent years, so I'm more than a little apprehensive... ;)

Here's the info:

Code: 
root@pve:~# efibootmgr -v
BootCurrent: 0002
Timeout: 5 seconds
BootOrder: 0002,0003,0000

root@pve:~# grub-install --version
grub-install.real (GRUB) 2.06-13+pmx7


It's kind of similar like: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/pve-8-to-9-in-place-upgrade.170013/post-800246

Please help out if I should go on?

thx!
 
solved it on my own:
as the entry
Code: 
Boot0002* proxmox       HD(2,GPT,a0e229a8-843d-4bdd-89f3-a9529fecbf35,0x800,0x200000)/File(\EFI\PROXMOX\GRUBX64.EFI)
is showing GRUB as bootloader, it should be save to delete 'systemd-boot'.

Therefore I did:
Code: 
apt remove systemd-boot

SUCCESS!
