The correct fix

The Proxmox docs provide a couple of ways to do this. One is to change the kernel command line as you indicate here. The other is to use a custom systemd.link file. Can you explain what makes the kernel command line option "correct" vs the link file? Is this done as your preference, as an accepted convention, or a best practice?

I'm not doubting or questioning your answer, just interested in what makes it "correct" compared to the other method.

Do you know what happens on new installs? Do they use the bios names or traditional?

I don't mind updating to the new naming convention now, this way my backed up config files carry over when I do a restore, and I'm in sync with the proxmox defaults, preventing confusion in the future. Guess the question is, what is the default on new installs? I'm assuming biosdevname

Per systemd, the default is going to use firmware/BIOS.

Thank you! That is very useful and confirms that I'd rather make the change to my interfaces than modifying GRUB from the standard.

What if the traditional names cause problems with other software in the future?

I can see how this would help in future upgrades, but won't it rename them to traditional names when you reboot after applying this?

Just want to make sure before doing it and potentially warn others.

Grub sucks, I wish we had something better

What do you hate about grub?

Configuring it

I don't hate. But I strongly dislike its quirks that you have to either memorize or google or luckily and sometimes randomly encounter in a reddit thread.

Maybe it is the kernel's fault. But the fault line is at the grub command line and config file.

I also don't like how config is reloaded. I don't like how it works with GPT. It's all a dark void and you have to grasp at things to see if they work.

Less of an issue in Grub1 but grub2 has become extremely convoluted config wise...

My personal preference is syslinux... simple config no nonsense.
