[SOLVED] I broke the upgrade to the new kernel...

[LordRatner]

I honestly have no idea how. I think it had something to do with the Coral TPU referenced in this thread: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/update-error-with-coral-tpu-drivers.136888/

However the steps in that thread do not resolve the issue. Now that I have broken whatever I broke, nothing can install. Here's an example:

root@node1:/home# apt install tini

Any clues on how to resolve this? I'm not going to restart until I know it won't kill my node.

Thanks!

Figured it out. For anyone with the same problem, it was the old Nvidia drivers that needed to be updated.

Remove them with /usr/bin/nvidia-uninstall Then install something newer. I used NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-545.23.06. Then the kernel should compile.

This was the issue for me too, thank you for posting about the drivers!
