On some (non-standard) setups having systemd-boot installed, causes issues, even if the system is using proxmox-boot-tool (p-b-t) for booting. The currently observed edge-case is: before the upgrade: * system is booted with grub (w/o secure boot), using p-b-t, results in the ESP not being mounted on /boot/efi
after the upgrade: * systemd-gpt-auto-generator(8) is active, and mounts the (single) ESP on /efi (because grub w/o secure-boot sets the needed efivar+it is not mounted) * the next upgrade of systemd-boot causes systemd-boot to be installed on the ESP, but it will not get any kernels configured, since we disabled the /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-systemd-boot in PVE8. so this patch further restricts the case were having systemd-boot installed to the cases where p-b-t says it's used for booting. Additionally raise the level from info to warn in the legacy-boot case. and add a log_pass message that was added to the equivalent check in pbs3to4[0] [0] https://lore.proxmox.com/pbs-devel/20250811091135.127299-1-s.iva...@proxmox.com/ Signed-off-by: Stoiko Ivanov <s.iva...@proxmox.com> --- tested minimally on a system with btrfs raid1 and combinations of `p-b-t init /dev/sdX2 grub`, and `p-b-t init /dev/sdX2` PVE/CLI/pve8to9.pm | 24 +++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/PVE/CLI/pve8to9.pm b/PVE/CLI/pve8to9.pm index b639e212..a321f550 100644 --- a/PVE/CLI/pve8to9.pm +++ b/PVE/CLI/pve8to9.pm @@ -1560,7 +1560,7 @@ sub check_bootloader { if (!-d '/sys/firmware/efi') { if (-f "/usr/share/doc/systemd-boot/changelog.Debian.gz") { - log_info( + log_warn( "systemd-boot package installed on legacy-boot system is not necessary, consider removing it" ); return; @@ -1572,8 +1572,25 @@ sub check_bootloader { my $boot_ok = 1; if (-f "/etc/kernel/proxmox-boot-uuids") { if (!$upgraded) { - log_skip("not yet upgraded, systemd-boot still needed for bootctl"); - return; + my $sd_boot_used = 0; + eval { + run_command( + ['proxmox-boot-tool', 'status'], + outfunc => sub { + my ($line) = @_; + if ($line =~ m#configured with:.* (uefi|systemd-boot) \(versions:#) { + $sd_boot_used = 1; + } + }, + errfunc => sub { }, + noerr => 1, + ); + }; + + if ($sd_boot_used) { + log_skip("not yet upgraded, systemd-boot still needed for bootctl"); + return; + } } if (-f "/usr/share/doc/systemd-boot/changelog.Debian.gz") { log_fail("systemd-boot meta-package installed this will cause issues on upgrades of" @@ -1581,6 +1598,7 @@ sub check_bootloader { .
