Hi, i'm getting an error after upgrading to kernel 6.8.12-3:
/dev/mapper/pve-root does not exist
I was able to fix it with pve-efiboot-tool kernel pin 6.8.12-1-pve, using 6.8.12-2-pve also returned the same error. How can i remove troubled kernel?
apt purge proxmox-kernel-6.8.12-3-pve-signed returns the following:
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
W: (pve-apt-hook) !! WARNING !!
W: (pve-apt-hook) You are attempting to remove the meta-package 'proxmox-ve'!
W: (pve-apt-hook)
W: (pve-apt-hook) If you really want to permanently remove 'proxmox-ve' from your system, run the following command
W: (pve-apt-hook) touch '/please-remove-proxmox-ve'
W: (pve-apt-hook) run apt purge proxmox-ve to remove the meta-package
W: (pve-apt-hook) and repeat your apt invocation.
W: (pve-apt-hook)
W: (pve-apt-hook) If you are unsure why 'proxmox-ve' would be removed, please verify
W: (pve-apt-hook) - your APT repository settings
W: (pve-apt-hook) - that you are using 'apt full-upgrade' to upgrade your system
Is it safe to do?
 
you can't remove the default kernel's current version (but you also don't need to, if you temporarily pin an older one). the question is why the -3 one doesn't work..
