Opt-in Linux 6.11 Kernel for Proxmox VE 8 available on test & no-subscription

Why do install a package for mpt3sas - that module is in the kernel - are there any issues in kernel 6.11 without that package?
Trying to understand if there's some shortcomings of the in-tree module

Thanks!

That's a good call out, I think I've just gotten into the habit of installing drivers and matching firmware when they are released: https://www.broadcom.com/products/storage/host-bus-adapters/sas-nvme-9500-16i

Having said that, I actually just blacklist the driver as the HBA card is PCI passed through to a TrueNAS Proxmox VM, which works fine, albeit with an older version of the driver.

No, it seems to be defaulting to a very high resolution. If we boot up a system without a monitor attached it is much higher than 1920x1080.

my R420 server does not have a monitor pluged, i do everything from virtual console on my home lab,

Try to change the resolution (1024x768) on the line to a higher one, try with 1440x900 for the R740.


***Also check if you can do something about the resolution on iDRAC Settings → Virtual Console

Got my hands on a Fujitsu Primergy RX2540 M5 with an Intel Xeon Silver 4215R CPU. Working fine in our Test Cluster
with proxmox-kernel-6.11.11-2 for nearly 2 Days now.
 
Here is my contribution :) :

Nothing to see as problems at the moment.

On the other 3 servers I use glusterfs, has anyone tested with proxmox-kernel-6.11.11-2-pve, I think with version proxmox-kernel-6.11.11-1-pve someone had mentioned problems.
