First, great project! Without it I could not use the drive encryption.
Short version: How to upgrade the UEFI64.img on a (previously working) PBA setup?
Long version: I was using an old sedutil/recovery image version to initially setup PBA (maybe three years ago). Now I updated the bios on my motherboard. I can still boot into the PBA image (even though booting the kernel is super slow, takes minutes), but after entering the password, it is stuck at scanning. However, if I boot from the current RESCUE64.img image, then I can unlock the drive with linuxpba and boot the actual system. From what I have read in other issues, this is a problem between the new bios and an old linux kernel in my old PBA. Therefore I would like to update the PBA without losing all date of the actual system.
I am not sure whether it is enough to just use sedutil-cli --loadPBAimage <current-password-in-plain> /path/to/UEFI64.img /dev/sdX
to update PBA (when booted in the rescue image)? Or whether it might erase any date? Or whether I then have to manually change e.g. UEFI boot entries?
I hope someone can tell me how to update PBA.
Best regards

Just to clearify, when booted into the host system (after unlocking), I can just use sedutil-cli --loadPBAimage <current-password-in-plain> /path/to/UEFI64.img /dev/sdX
to update the PBAimage?
Nothing else required?
