Proxmox Kernel

Quote from donh

Just guessing I need more packages.

It might be easier to add the repo but these are the packages you should need:

pve-firmware

pve-headers

pve-headers-5.11

pve-headers-5.11.21-1-pve

pve-kernel-5.11

pve-kernel-5.11.21-1-pve

Thanks will try it later. I don't want to add the repo because it may break other things. At least for now.

Hm, there is a source code from aaron ,on adding the kernel, but it would be something like this:

wget -qO - http://download.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

and then add kernel 5.11:

sudo apt install pve-kernel-5.11 -y

Test as always

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately it breaks many untangle modified packages.

Can you show us what dependencies are broken?

Maybe you can just download kernel and headers?

Just the kernel and headers installed but didn't work. Not sure why. So I installed the repo. Apt wanted to remove 43 packages that would have maid it not worth the effort. They modify the stock buster kernel so I just wondered if a newer (modern) kernel might be a big improvement. It works well enough it is not worth the effort.

Thanks again.

They remove the individual firmware packages and replace them with one pve-firmware package. not a big deal at all.

The proxmox kernel is the Ubuntu LTS kernel and in my opinion is much more stable than the Buster backports kernel.

Unfortunately most packages it wanted to remove had untangle-feature in the name. Defeating the purpose and features of untangle. It would be nice if it didn't require a lot of work. I will just wait for the next version. I think they are slow to adapt so I was wondering if it might be easy to update the kernel. Seems it would be more than I suspected.

Thanks

Proxmox 7 has been released by the way. Debian 11 has not. Going to wait a while for that too. LOL

Yes, but Proxmox 7 uses 5.11 kernel,which we already use.

At least until ubuntu releases 21.10 which will use newer kernel i guess.
