Unable to Install Kernel Plugin

I need some help, I am unable to see the kernel plugin to be able to install it.

I have a CM3588, and I've wiped it and restarted 3 times. First two times I used their preconfigured openmediavault image, this most recent time I'm using their debian bookworm image and installing openmediavault. I originally posted my issue on Reddit, and was redirected here.

cat /etc/os-release | grep PRETTY
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"

uname -r
6.1.57

On the preconfigured image OMV-Extras is already installed.

On the Base Debian Image I am on now, I had to run the wget/bash command from https://wiki.omv-extras.org

while OMV Extras is installed, I cannot see openmediavault-kernel to install it.

My list of plugins is below from apt (easier to copy paste)

I have gone into OMV-Extras and selected "Enable Backports"

As well as System -> Updates -> Other Software and made sure the below was enabled.

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

When go to the Plugins page, and type Kernel I get the following display. Even After Pressing the Magnifying Glass to search for plugins.

Before this turns into an X-Y Problem, let me state my end goal is to enable ZFS so I can setup my 4x 4tb NVMEs as a Z1 Volume. I've read several times over I need the proxmox kernel in order to get zfs to work. Installing zfs on its own doesn't, i get several failures stating the

modprobe zfs
modprobe: FATAL: Module zfs not found in directory /lib/modules/6.1.57

If it is at all relevant here is my list of sources

cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb https://mirrors.aliyun.com/debian bookworm main non-free non-free-firmware contrib
deb-src https://mirrors.aliyun.com/debian bookworm main non-free non-free-firmware  contrib
# deb https://mirrors.aliyun.com/debian-security bookworm-security main
# deb-src https://mirrors.aliyun.com/debian-security bookworm-security main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free non-free-firmware contrib

Any help given would be greatly appreciated, I've been working at this for the better part of a week at this point, and I am up against a brick wall.

Exodus00FF I saw your reddit post which included problems with pve. The responder had missed the obvious point that yout CM3588 is an ARM based deivce, not x86. AFAIK there is no pve kernel for ARM devices. As to what other plugins may or may not work with your CM3588, ryecoaaron will have all the answers.

This is the answer I needed. Not necessarily the answer I wanted ;), but thank you. This saves me a lot of headache from this point on.

Yep, I was aware. I never added that because the plugin is only in the amd64 and i386 repos. I will never show up in the list on any arm system.

Would it make sense to make notes on the plugin wikis that these plugins are not ARM compatible?

I don't see a wiki for zfs, but there is for kernel. If I came across a note that stated kernel only works with i386 and amd64, this would have stopped me dead in my tracks. I don't know how often things like this come up, from lack of understanding of what packages are actually available.

I figured the fact you can't install the plugin would tell you that. But I can add it to the wiki.

You are most certainly probably right, and that should have been indicator enough for most. I on the other hand kept seeing people state this is how you do it, and you need this plugin to do it. I never saw any exceptions for why it won't be there, so to me it should have worked and I figured I was doing something wrong.

This is obviously a flawed perspective on my part.

I don't see the connection. zfs does not require the proxmox kernel or the kernel plugin. zfs is a bit of a pain on arm but that isn't something I can fix in the plugin.

The connection is mine. This is really an X-Y issue here. I needed, based on all my reading, the proxmox kernel plugin, because my end goal was ZFS. That is the connection. In reality it doesn't have anything to do with the other and it shouldn't.

I've since got it working after I found a github page, with a couple of heartaches along the way. I'll post my results on the reddit page and probably another post here.

I appreciate the input you've given me it got me on the right track!
