Choose boot Kernel

Proxmox comes with a built-in tool called proxmox-boot-tool. We can list the available kernels on the system and choose the best kernel and set it to always boot from this kernel.

List and choose boot Kernel

Now that we know which kernel we want we must run the following command and reboot.

proxmox-boot-tool kernel pin 5.15.108-1-pve && reboot

This will pin the kernel we want to use. We may need to unpin a kernel we don't want. The following command can be used to remove a kernel from the pinned list

proxmox-boot-tool kernel unpin 5.15.108-1-pve
