[SOLVED] NVIDIA 580.x + Kernel 7.0 incompatibility on Trixie

Has anyone got any idea for my seeminly hopeless situation with nvidia drivers on the proxmox host?

Hardware: GTX 1060 (Pascal) + GTX 180 Ti (Kepler)
PVE version: 9.1.2


The problem: Nvidia Driver 580.x is the last series supporting Pascal/Kepler hardware.
It builds fine on kernel 6.17 but since proxmox updated to kernel 7.0 it fails due to VMA locking API changes (VMA_LOCK_OFFSET removed, __is_vma_write_locked signature changed in mmap_lock.h).


The repositorys
  • The debian12 CUDA repo has 580.x but is signed with a SHA1-bound key, which trixie's sqv rejects since Feb 2026
  • The debian13 CUDA repo has working signing but no 580.x, only newer driver series that dropped Pascal/Kepler support
  • The debian 13 repo has only driver 550 which is too far outdated and I had issues with it

What I think to do:
Pin the kernel to 6.17.13-7-pve and held kernel 7.0 packages, but due to exploits, I don't really wanna do that?
Also what would be the suggested way to do this?

  1. Is there a patched 580.x build anywhere that supports kernel 7.0's new VMA API?
  2. Is there a plan for the debian13 CUDA repo to carry 580.x for legacy hardware?
  3. Any other suggested approach for Pascal/Kepler on PVE trixie long-term?

Thanks, I tried with that parameter and got the following error:

Code:

after also adding trusted: yes I got only a warning:

Code:

After this I was able to update just fine, thanks a lot!
